Located on Divinity Avenue on the campus of Harvard University, the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology is one of the world’s oldest and largest museums devoted to anthropology. Founded in 1866, it is associated with Harvard University and is home to more than 1.5 million objects.
The anthropology objects display and celebrate the archaeology and the ethnography of the Americas and include totem poles, monumental Maya sculptures, and special exhibits. Nearly one quarter of its collection features artifacts from North America that span a period of 10,000 years.
Although its focus is on the Americas, the museum’s collection also includes objects from Africa, Asia, Europe, and Oceania.
