A new exhibit at the MassArt Art Museum in Boston explores the future by examining the present.

For their "Future Fossils" exhibition, the museum asked artists to imagine what people in the future will see when they eventually stumble upon fossils from today.

"The theme of Future Fossils is basically, if time or life as we know were to stop, what would future archaeologists discover about us? What do these objects all say about what we hold dear, what we treasure and what we value?" said Lisa Tung, the museum's executive director.
