Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology

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

Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology 创建于1866年，是全球历史最悠久的人类学博物馆之一。馆内珍藏逾120万件藏品，在美洲考古与民族志领域底蕴尤为深厚——涵盖来自 Copán 的玛雅遗迹石膏翻模、北美大平原账本素描、西北海岸原住民木雕，以及非洲与大洋洲的重要收藏。展厅囊括历史悠久的 Hall of the North American Indian 与 Encounters with the Americas，亦不乏丰富特展，如 Azadeh Akhlaghi 再现二十世纪伊朗历史的摆拍摄影作品。持一张门票即可同时参观相邻的 Harvard Museum of Natural History，两座展馆内部互通相连。根据道德藏品管理政策（Ethical Stewardship）及《美洲原住民墓葬保护与归还法案》（NAGPRA）承诺，博物馆正对展厅进行持续重置；参观期间，部分展柜可能会留空，某些展品或已撤展下架，甚至已归还原住民后裔社群。
