Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology

Description: 

IUMAA is Indiana University’s newest museum and draws upon the strengths, rich collections, and connections to community of the former Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology and the Mathers Museum of World Cultures. These two collections include over 5 million artifacts that span across a broad range of human experiences. The museum is currently closed as we install newly-designed exhibits and learning labs that will enable visitors to learn more about cultural traditions, values, and beliefs of peoples of the world.

Public and handicap parking spots are available at IUMAA, in the lot off the corner of 8th Street and Indiana Avenue, by the museum's lobby doors. More public parking and IU permit parking is available just one block north and west at McCalla School.
