	The Gobi Flag
		This flag is a symbol of both a specific expedition -- to the Gobi Desert in Mongolia in the 1920s -- and of all the expeditions the American Museum of Natural History has taken and continues to take.
		The 1920s Gobi expedition, called the Central Asiatic Expedition, did not accomplish what it had originally set as its mission, to discover evidence of the origins of humankind.
		The Gobi Flag thus stands not simply for the achievements of a single expedition, but for the quest for knowledge, insight, and understanding that is the impetus for all expeditions, and informs all of the Museum's activities, both in the public eye and behind the scenes.
