Brief Description:
What makes the Museum of Man such a special place? As San Diego’s only anthropology museum, we teach people about people. Come join the fun as a guide leads you through several Museum exhibits which illustrate the vast realms of cultural and physical anthropology. Experience different cultures around the world through their artistic expressions in pottery, clothing, and everyday objects. See how physical anthropologists study humans to learn how we have adapted to our environments. Learn how we know about past cultures through archaeology, and why it is important to know the ethical “rules” of archaeology. Can't come to the museum, this have a Docent come to your classroom with a kit full of artifacts.
