Anthropology, Archaeology, Science, University
The Lowell D. Holmes Museum of Anthropology is located in Neff Hall on the Campus of Wichita State University. The museum has two main functions; to support the educational mission of the Department of Anthropology and Wichita State University and to be a teaching museum operated by students enrolled in the university's Museum Studies Program. This program gives potential museum professionals hands-on experience in museum administration, operations, and exhibitions. The museum's collections include a wide range of cultural, archaeological, and biological objects. The museum is funded mainly with private donations. The museum is constantly working to fund student scholarships, student positions, exhibitions, field collecting expeditions, curation supplies, equipment and acquisitions.
