Yeah, it was great but it is now also gone. (Closed Jan 12th.)  But
... "Seeds of Change" at the National Museum of Natural History is
another show on a related theme: the biological impact of the European
"discovery' of the Americas.  Smallpox one way, syphillis the other;
various foods that changed cuisines radically (imagine Italian food
without the tomato); etc.
