The Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology is Brown University’s teaching and research museum. A resource across the university and beyond, we inspire creative and critical thinking about culture by fostering interdisciplinary understanding of the material world. We provide opportunities for faculty and students to work with collections and the public, teaching through objects and programs in classrooms, exhibits, and at the Collections Research Center. Through this work and more, the HMA connects our campus and wider community to the world's cultural creativity.
