Biographical Text
-
Anthropology museum in Berkley, California. Signage depicts the Lapita peoples section of the museum.
The museum was founded in 1901 after Hearst donated a portion of her collection of artifacts to the University of California which led to the creation of the University of California Museum of Anthropology.
In 1931, the museum moved from San Francisco to the University of California Berkeley campus. In 1959 a space was constructed to hold the collection, originally named after Robert H. Lowie. In 1991, the museum was renamed the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology. Today the collection holds over 3.8 million artifacts and is studied by researchers and visitors to the museum.
