Sharing the Human Story
The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology cares for the collections of the former Glenn Black Laboratory of Archaeology and the Mathers Museum of World Cultures. The diverse collections in our care relate to dynamic societies from around the world and contain over five million objects of cultural heritage and archaeological significance.
The Museum tells the human stories behind these objects and uplifts the source and descendant communities that are connected to them, providing a gateway to the rich cultural heritage of humanity – right from the heart of IU Bloomington’s campus.
