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. A self-guided tour of the exhibits focuses on collecting and collectors. As the visitor explores the thematic exhibits, a printed gallery guide discusses how collections are made, who collects, and how exhibit objects became part of the Museum of Anthropology.
