The Lam Museum of Anthropology at Wake Forest University is a small museum focused on world cultures, with objects from the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. It is the sort of campus museum that rewards a curious hour rather than a half-day plan.
Pair it with Reynolda House or other stops on the Wake Forest side of Winston-Salem. Check opening hours before going, as university museums can keep shorter schedules than larger city institutions.
