UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fowler Museum at UCLA explores art and material culture primarily from Africa, Asia and the Pacific, and the Americas, past and present. The Fowler seeks to enhance understanding and appreciation of the diverse peoples, cultures, and religions of the world through highly contextualized interpretive exhibitions, publications, and public programming, informed by interdisciplinary approaches and the perspectives of the cultures represented. The Fowler provides exciting and informative exhibitions and events for the UCLA community and the people of greater Los Angeles and beyond

The Fowler is generally home to one or more cultural exhibitions and also acts as a venue for lectures on cultural topics and musical performances. The museum was opened in 1963, and in 1992 a new building for the Museum was constructed. Fowler is located in the northern part of UCLA's Westwood Campus, adjacent to Royce Hall and Gloria Kaufman Hall. General admission to the museum is free.
