A resource across the university and beyond, the Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology (HMA) inspires creative and critical thinking about culture by fostering an interdisciplinary understanding of the material world. Additionally, the HMA provides opportunities for faculty and students to work with collections and the public, teaching through objects and programs in classrooms, in the gallery in Manning Hall, and at the Collections Research Center. Through this work and more, the HMA connects Brown's campus and wider community to the world's cultural creativity.
