Fodor's Review:

With one of the world's outstanding anthropological collections, the Peabody focuses on Native American and Central and South American cultures; there are also interesting displays on Africa. The Hall of the North American Indian is particularly outstanding, with art, textiles, and models of traditional dwellings from across the continent. The Mesoamerican room juxtaposes ancient relief carvings and weavings with contemporary works from the Maya and other peoples.

Cost: $9, includes admission to Harvard Museum of Natural History, accessible through the museum; free for Massachusetts residents only Sun. 9-noon year-round and Wed. 3-5 Sept.-May
