The Museum of Peoples and Cultures at BYU serves as a Teaching Museum, providing inspiration to students for a lifelong journey of learning and service. It serves as a mentor to students, engaging them in collections-focused activities that align with the core principles of BYU education – to strengthen spirituality, broaden intellectual horizons, and foster character development.
The museum houses collections from all over the world. Our main collections consist of artifacts from the Great Basin, the Northern Southwest (including Ancestral Puebloan), Casas Grandes, Southern Mesoamerica, Polynesia, and Ancient Peru.
