A Time Capsule is a sealed
container holding artifacts of social and
scientific interest and everyday use, with
pictures, everyday objects, films, recordings and
descriptions of contemporary civilization, to be
opened in the distant future. A capsule is often
prepared to commemorate a notable event, such as
a World«s Fair or the landing on the moon. It is
generally buried in the ground. Time Capsules
continue in a custom practiced in ancient Egypt
and Babylon, where inscriptions and statuettes
were sealed into temple foundations. In
the exhibition area is an actual time capsule to
be opened in the 21st Century as well as video
and text documentation about time capsule
preparation, burials, ceremonies, etc.
