That is the Houston Museum's website about the Lucy exhibit, very nicely done.

We'll go in early spring and I'll impress upon the children that we are looking at a once living being not just a replica. That will be a nice segue into the economy of Ethiopia, and where the money for the loaned priceless remains will go... I'm interested in the religious history in the exhibit. We'll discuss the controversy over worries that one of the most world changing discoveries humans have had, could be harmed. Very exciting

I remember seeing Lucy many years ago on a school trip to France. I never fully understood the significance back then, just that it was a very important find. How glad later on in life I was to find out just how important.
