Anthropology is the study of humankind past and present. The Anthropology Department of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County curates archaeological and ethnographic collections collected by and donated to the Museum. Objects from the Anthropology Collections are on display in several Exhibit Halls and Display Cases throughout the museum; collections are also available for scholarly research. Curators conduct research around the world, accumulating examples of material culture and theoretical knowledge. They work in collaboration with the Collection Management team to ensure the preservation of the collections so that they remain within the public trust for generations to come.
