The exhibit, located at 51 Hillhouse Ave., is a joint project of the Yale Council on Archaeological Studies and the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History. It is made possible by generous contributions from the Bead Society of Greater Washington in Washington, D.C., whose support and 2010 donation of Society collections to the Yale Peabody Museum are to promote the analyses and archaeological interpretation of beads, and to foster in the public a greater appreciation of beads’ scientific and aesthetic value. These displays will highlight the work of Yale faculty and students as they uncover the beauty of beads and the stories of the lives these extraordinary artifacts touched. The exhibition is on view within the Department of Anthropology at 51 Hillhouse Avenue, open to the public from 10am to 3pm, Monday through Thursday. Please call 203-432-3701 prior to your visit to confirm date and time.
