The taller structures that surround this museum give its Romanesque brickwork and gardens a secluded feel. The museum has had spectacular special exhibitions recently, with forays into ancient Iran, Roman glass, and works from ancient Canaan and Israel. The glass-enclosed Museum Cafe, overlooking the museum's inner gardens, serves cafeteria-style snacks and light meals from 8am to 3:30pm on weekdays, from 10am to 3:30pm on Saturday, and from 1 to 5pm on Sunday.

Council For Museum Anthropology The Council for Museum anthropology is an allvolunteer membership organization Disciplines include cultural anthropology, archaeology, and art history. http://www.nmnh.si.edu/anthro/cma/survey.html
Extractions: Museum Training for Anthropology Students This listing of more than fifty entries results from a survey conducted for the Council for Museum Anthropology in 1996. In May of that year a questionnaire concerning anthropology training programs and course offerings was sent to 366 institutions in the U.S. and Canada. By November 1996 a total of 68 responses had been received. Of those, 34 institutions reported having a museum training course or program appropriate for anthropology students. Since then, we have contacted more than forty other organizations and added them to the list when appropriate. Also, a number of institutions have more recently initiated or begun planning for new museum training programs and are included here. We hope this compilation is useful to students seeking information about programs, to administrators wanting broader exposure for their programs, and to the profession at large interested in assessing the extent of available training. Included here are institutions whose offerings range from single courses to degree and certificate programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Some programs are strictly oriented to anthropology; others include it among other disciplines or within an interdisciplinary curriculum.

MEXICO CITY Follow me across Paseo de la Reforma, passing the vendors peddling mango on a stick, potato chips drizzled with salsa picante, your name engraved on a grain of rice. Walk past the man in the broad-brimmed hat offering you an Aztec calendar stone "For you, a good price ... cheap." Glance over your shoulder at the Flying Men of Papantla, slowly spinning headfirst to the ground every 20 minutes. Politely decline the offer to have your photograph taken in front of the carved sign announcing your arrival at the National Museum of Anthropology , Mexican flag rippling above.

Ancient Nubia: Egypt's Rival In Africa Dr. O Connor has cocurated many exhibits for the University Museum of Archaeologyand anthropology. He is co-director of the Pennsylvania-Yale http://www.lsa.umich.edu/kelsey/galleries/Exhibits/AncientNubia/AncientNubiaPres
Extractions: Africa's diverse and sophisticated Nubian civilization, circa 3100 BC to AD 400, is the subject of a major exhibition, Ancient Nubia: Egypt's Rival in Africa , to open September 29, 1995, at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology , at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor . Ancient Nubia: Egypt's Rival in Africa will run through December 15, 1995. Only a handful of American museums have significant Nubian collections. As a consequence, the exhibition's traveling schedule was booked immediately with a waiting list of more than 20 museums. The Kelsey Museum's Associate Curator of Collections, Prof. Thelma K. Thomas, was one of the very first to reserve one of the exhibitions traveling slots. In 1991, while plans were still being laid, she recognized that Ancient Nubia: Egypt's Rival in Africa promised to be an extremely important exhibition for this generation of museum-goers and scholars interested in the history of Africa. Salvage projects necessitated by the construction of the Aswan Dam in the 1960s saved a number of Nubian monuments from destruction by inundation and enhanced our knowledge of ancient Nubia tremendously. It was not until 1978, in a joint project organized by The Brooklyn Museum and the Loewey Museum of Anthropology at the University of California at Berkeley, that a major exhibition presented this aspect of African history to the public. Public response was overwhelming then. Meanwhile the numbers of interested parties has grown exponentially. Grass-roots reading groups were organized in African-American communities in response to the dearth of presentations of just this type of information.

One can find pictures of the sculptures that were found in their respective societies. Along with the pictures are detail accounts of the significance of the sculpture and what the sculpture tells about its respective society. I would advise anyone interested in the arts to visit this page for the textual explanations that are found here are wonderful. A serious scholar would be surprised at the amount of information found at this site, for what some would say very small pieces of artwork.

If one clicks on one of these topics, they are brought to a more detailed description. Other than this, most of the site is details about the location and business hours of the museum.

(Photograph courtesy University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology) [LARGER IMAGE] The Royal Tombs of Ur, an exhibition now traveling throughout the United States, is a trip back in time to the exuberant days of the early twentieth century when scientific archaeology was beginning to capture widespread popular interest. Following closely on the sensational opening of King Tut's tomb were C. Leonard Woolley's discoveries at Ur from 1922 to 1934. This fabled Mesopotamian city, too, proved to be rich in gold and other luxurious artifacts, and further captured the public imagination with its biblical allusions as the traditional home of the patriarch Abraham and its vivid evidence for mass "human sacrifice." The 150 objects in the show (until April 23 at the Cleveland Museum of Art, then on to the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York) are all from the permanent collection of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, which, with the British Museum, sponsored Woolley's excavations. The finds were divided among the two museums and the infant country of Iraq; the latter was able to retain a portion of its cultural heritage thanks to an antiquities law that had just been written by Gertrude Bell, a noted British traveler, archaeologist, and advisor to King Faisal.
