The fossil has proven to be a “link” between the prosimian and simian (\"anthropoid\") primate lineages. It has \"advanced\" front teeth (incisors and canines) and second toes like those of monkeys\, and is broadly representative of what human primate ancestors may have looked like during the Eocene epoch 47 million years ago. Ida (prounded \"eeda\") is named after after the daughter of Dr Jørn Hurum\, the Norwegian vertebrate paleontologist who secured one section of the fossil from an anonymous owner\, and led the research. Ida was about eight months old\, or the equivalent of a six-year-old human. Publication of a paper on the discovery was accompanied by a book\, The Link: Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestors by Colin Tudge\, and a documentary shown on the History Channel (US)\, BBC One (UK)\,and various stations in Germany and Norway. U-M paleontologist Philip Gingerich and U-M anthropologist B. Holly Smith were two members of the \"dream team\" invited to study Ida. The exhibit will be on display through May 2010.

Heller Professor Emeritus\, School of Art and Design\, the Museum has a priceless selection of ceramics dating from the 1930s through 1970s by leading figures and “living national treasures” such as Hamada Shôji\, Kawai Kanjirô\, and Yagi Kazuo. The collection of approximately 50 works offers a focused look at the Japanese studio pottery movement at a moment of exceptional creativity and lasting influence.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible in part by the University of Michigan's Center for Japanese Studies\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, the Charles H. & Katharine C. Sawyer Endowment Fund\, The Japan Foundation\, New York\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, and an anonymous donor.
