University of Cambridge: Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology

The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (MAA) in Cambridge explores humanity’s history, world cultures, and Indigenous life through extraordinary artefacts and artworks. Founded in 1884, it preserves archaeological finds from Cambridge and beyond while also building global collections in collaboration with communities. Today, MAA continues to collect and commission contemporary works, especially by Indigenous artists, ensuring their voices are represented. With over 100,000 annual visitors, the museum plays a vital role in education, research, and international cultural exchange.
