Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology

The Museum of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley, was founded in 1901 by Phoebe Apperson Hearst who envisioned the museum as the cultural cornerstone of one of the world’s leading research institutions —­ a great educator of the people of California. Today, the Hearst Museum serves the community through exhibitions, educational programs, and research opportunities that promote the understanding of the history and the diversity of human cultures.
