Museum of World Cultures: Highlights from the UNC-Wilmington Collection

February 18, 2025 – February 14, 2026

The Lam Museum of Anthropology is excited to showcase a selection of newly acquired objects from the closed Museum of World Cultures at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington. This partnership brings back into public view nearly 300 ethnographic, historical, and archaeological pieces from around the world, and adds significant depth to the Lam Museum’s already expansive collection. This exhibit celebrates some of these objects spanning cultures, continents, and centuries. Although only a portion of the collection is on display, these highlights demonstrate the rich variety and interconnectedness of humanity.
