12:00 pm - 2:00 pmLets Take A Look with Curators
Museum of Indian Arts and CultureDuring Let’s Take a Look, curators from The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture and The Laboratory of Anthropology wait in the lobby to look at your treasures. They will attempt to identify and explain any artifact or historic object presented to them. While our curators prefer to work with objects from the Southwest, they are willing to take a look at anything you might bring in. If they cannot identify an object an attempt will be made to find someone who can! Sometimes, the lively discussion among curators may provide as much insight as an accurate object identification itself. The event is always free and open to the public, but please note Federal and State regulations prohibit the monetary appraisal of objects. Museum main lobby - Musuem of Indian Arts and Culture, 710 Camino Lejo - Museum Hill.
