Museum of Anthropology

University of Michigan anthropology museum with archaeological and ethnographic teaching collections.

The University of Michigan Museum of Anthropology is a teaching and research collection rather than a flashy tourist museum. Its strength is in archaeology and ethnography, with material that reflects the university's long academic reach and the region's interest in human history.

Check access before going, since university museums can have changing public hours and exhibits. If it is open, it fits naturally into a campus walk with the Kelsey Museum and the university's other small collections.
