Museum of Indian Arts and Culture
and The Laboratory of Anthropology

The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture was founded in Santa Fe, New Mexico, by anthropologist Edgar Lee Hewett in 1909. His mission was to collect and preserve Southwest Native American culture.

In 1927, John D. Rockefeller founded the renowned Laboratory of Anthropology. His mission was to study New Mexico and the Southwest's indigenous cultures.

In 1947 the two institutions combined efforts to bring together the most inclusive and systematically acquired collection of New Mexican and Southwestern anthropological artifacts in the country.
