Ninety-five years have been a long enough time for Yale University to hold onto cultural artifacts taken from Machu Picchu, Peru. The university now should return the treasures and end a dispute that it is sure to lose, if not in a court of law, then certainly in the court of public opinion. The university acquired the artifacts after one of its professors discovered the majestic Incan city in 1911. The collection contains thousands of ancient ceramics, jewelry, pottery shards and human bones.
More than 100 artists from four states will show, tell and sell drawings, paintings, photographs, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, handbags, digital art, wearable art and other work in the eighth annual Funk in the City Haynie's Corner Art Festival. Saturday's event, which has drawn more than 9,000 people in recent years, also will feature food from the Acropolis, Kirby's Fine Dining, Piece of Cake and other businesses and organizations, said Jamie Morris, the festival's chairman.

POMONA - The American Museum of Ceramic Art will be able to move from its current location to a new site a few blocks away as a result of City Council actions this week. Council members gave preliminary approval to an ordinance amending its Downtown Specific Plan and approved a conditional use permit. Both were necessary to allow for the museum and a ceramics school to open in the 300 block of North Garey Avenue.

At first glance, the Christian Sanderson Museum in Chadds Ford, Pa., looked more like a candidate for "Hoarders" than a real archival institution. Everywhere were shelves and stacks of hand-labeled specimens: a container of sand from the building of the Panama Canal, melted ice from the South Pole, a nail from the cellar of Washington's Headquarters at Valley Forge, a teeny bottle of sawdust from evangelist Billy Sunday's "Sawdust Trail" (marked "VERY RARE").
