The University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History (MNCH) was established to further the general mission of the University by enhancing public knowledge of the natural history and anthropology of Oregon and the broader world. This is accomplished by:

  • Preserving objects illustrative of and significant to natural and cultural history.
  • Contributing to knowledge by promoting and facilitating research in appropriate fields.
  • Disseminating this knowledge to the Oregon public, through both formal instruction on campus  and public education outside the boundaries of the University.
MNCH provides research opportunities for Anthropology students and faculty through field projects and collections analyses, and museum experience through the public programs division. A number of undergraduate and graduate student programs exist, including Oregon Archaeology, Participatory Learning Experiences (PLE), summer field schools, graduate teaching fellowships, and internships. MNCH also has diverse offerings, including lectures, tours, and other events, such as the Margaret Mead Film Festival that are of interest to Anthropology faculty and students.
