Museum of Man Collections: Treasures Uncovered September 24, 2009

The San Diego Museum of Man in Balboa Park opened “Museum of Man Collections: Treasures Uncovered,” an exhibit that gives visitors unprecedented access to witness conservators and collections staff at work restoring thousands of museum artifacts in the collection that spans thousands of years. As the region's only anthropology museum, the San Diego Museum of Man’s collections represent the peoples from the Western Americas and other parts of the world. Trained staff and volunteers will preserve more than 100,000 objects and 50,000 historical photographs in the museum’s newly developed Collections Resource Center (CRC). “Treasures Uncovered” opened to the public on July 1, and will be open for the next several months while the museum is proactively preserving and cataloging its thousands of artifacts. Admission to “Treasures Uncovered” is just $5 with regular museum admission, and it includes a guided tour of the San Diego Museum of Man led by a museum educator.
