Located on the second floor of Carpenter Building of the Penn State University Park campus, the museum displays a collection of archaeological objects from around the world, including Mexico, Mesopotamia, and Pennsylvania, and items used by contemporary cultures from Afghanistan and Latin America. The campus-based center for cultural education offers an array of exhibitions throughout the year, including a unique collection of one-hundred-year-old pottery made in villages around the world, and displays that explore human evolution by showcasing human skeletal remains and our ancestor’s bones.
