The Museum's permanent exhibits consist of objects from the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. Two to three times a year the special exhibits gallery houses topical exhibitions reflecting University and community interests. Anthropology students as well as students from other disciplines assist staff with developing and installing exhibits, researching and caring for collections, or they produce special class project exhibits. Two scavenger hunts covering the entire museum are available for younger visitors. One is designed for grades PreK-5, and one for grades 6-12.
