Mission

The Logan Museum of Anthropology is a teaching museum of Beloit College. Our mission is to foster learning -- of the world's cultures, past and present; of anthropology; and of museology. We do this by building, preserving, exhibiting, and interpreting anthropological collections, by making anthropological objects accessible for teaching, research, and public education, and by promoting experiential learning. The museum staff works closely and collaboratively with the College's faculty and students. Our audiences are the Beloit College community, the Beloit regional community, scholars, students, and the general public. Our essential resources are our collections, exhibits, professional staff, campus colleagues, and students.

Among the museum's notable collections are South American and Mesoamerican ceramics, a wide range of Native North American basketry and other artifacts, and Paleolithic art and artifacts from France and North Africa.
