The Museum is the only anthropology museum in Missouri and one of only a few in the Midwest. The archaeological collection comprises artifacts dating from 9,000 BC to modern times, including the largest holding of prehistoric Missouri artifacts in the world. Among the thousands of ethnographic objects the Museum curates is a sizable collection of historic Euroamerican materials as well as objects from many cultures around the world. The Grayson Archery Collection is a visitor favorite. Free admission!

Pretty cool to have a place like this in the neighborhood.
