Our collection

The Anthropology Museum cares for a significant collection of art and artefacts including contemporary Pacific and Australian Indigenous artwork. The Museum also holds a collection of 6500 photographs.

In its exhibition program the UQ Anthropology Museum uses recent research to challenge and expand ideas about what an Anthropological collection can be in the 21st century.
Students, scholars and industry professionals write about the Anthropology Museum's collection items to reveal fascinating detail of their past lives and their important place within the collection.
