The 115-year-old Museum got started early and well, and is endowed with Benin bronzes, ancient cuneiform texts, Mesopotamian masterpieces, pre-Columbian gold, and artifacts of every continent, mostly brought back from the more than 350 expeditions it has sponsored over the years. 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. The Museum Shop has cards and jewelry and crafts from around the world, and the Pyramid Shop has children's items. There's a very active schedule of events throughout the year.

    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.

    This article was written for a presentation made in 1999 at the American Ethnohistory Society Meeting. Renovation of the National Museum of Anthropology has been ongoing and some of the galleries described below have changed. 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.

    OK, OK, an anthropologist this webmaster is not. But the disciplinary boundaries of sociology and anthropology have considerable overlap, which is why th e fields are so often lumped together within the same academic department. For the most complete collection of organized links, one might first stop by either Anthro.Net or Richard Robbins' A Guide to Internet Resources in Resources "Anthropology in the News," which is updated daily and includes archives of earlier stories. Even the Internet is fair game for anthropological studycheck out Cyberanthropology.org for virtual seminars and databases. If some of the terminology is new to you there is an Anthropology Glossary online. For biographies of key figures in the history of the discipline check out the " Anthropology Biography Web " from Minnesota State University, Mankato. And to search search for any author, name, subject, or cultural group written about in the American Anthropologist from 1888 through 2000, take advantage of the American Anthropology Journal Archive Project In the summer of 2001 a real gold mine was put online by the California Academy of Sciences Department of Anthropology: a database of 18,000 records and over 6,000 images

    Ancient Nubia: Egypt's Rival in Africa
    Press Release
    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.

    Your browser does not support javascript At the Museums: Wonders of Ur Volume 53 Number 2, March/April 2000 by Ellen Herscher A wood, gold, copper, shell, and lapis-lazuli lyre was among the 4,500-year-old objects excavated at the Mesopotamian city of Ur. (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.
