Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology

The WCU Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology is a small, but dynamic teaching museum in which students co-curate insightful exhibits and help manage the the Department of Anthropology and Sociology’s archaeological and ethnographic collections. The collections encompass thousands of years, and span the globe with a focus on the Americas, but also include East Africa, Southeast Asia, and Europe.

Our mission is to serve as a welcoming, vibrant center where faculty, students, and the public can connect and experience new ideas through our focus on teaching, research, collecting, and public engagement. 

Our vision is to further the University's Plan for Excellence to serve as a leader in community engagement, enhance the quality of life for the campus community, and promote a collaborative culture of thought and inquiry within the larger community.
