Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology

HistoryArchaeologyClosed · Opens 9amFrom $20Harvard (MBTA Red Line)

Założone w 1866 roku Peabody to jedno z najstarszych muzeów antropologicznych na świecie. W swoich zbiorach posiada ponad 1,2 miliona obiektów, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem archeologii i etnografii obu Ameryk – w tym odlewy zabytków Majów z Copán, rysunki z ksiąg rachunkowych plemion Wielkich Równin (ledger art), rzeźby rdzennych ludów Wybrzeża Północno-Zachodniego, a także bogate kolekcje afrykańskie i oceaniczne. Ekspozycje obejmują zarówno stałe galerie, takie jak Hall of the North American Indian czy Encounters with the Americas, jak i wystawy czasowe, na przykład inscenizowane fotografie XX-wiecznego Iranu autorstwa Azadeh Akhlaghi. Jeden bilet zapewnia wstęp także do sąsiedniego Harvard Museum of Natural History, z którym gmach łączy się bezpośrednio wewnątrz. W ramach zobowiązań Ethical Stewardship oraz ustawy NAGPRA muzeum prowadzi sukcesywną reorganizację ekspozycji, dlatego część gablot może być pusta, a niektóre obiekty zostały wycofane z wystawy lub zwrócone społecznościom potomków.
