Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology: Indiana University

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.

Spring Break Hours

The Museum will be closed Sunday, March 16 through Thursday, March 20. We will resume regular museum hours on Friday, March 21 with normal hours on Friday, March 21 and Saturday, March 22.
