This student-curated exhibit introduces visitors to the South Asian caste system and the place of Dalits (formerly known as untouchables) in it.  Visitors will see objects traditionally associated with Dalit occupation and learn about Dalit views on dignity and their rights.  The exhibit not only introduces social situations unfamiliar to most American but also encourages interaction with the Dalit experiences and views of what constitutes dignity.  Admission is free.

This student-curated exhibit features fossil models, images, and reconstructions to tell the story of how human beings developed into the most unique species on the planet.  The focus is not on the things we already know about human evolution, but on the “hot topics” still be investigated. The newest version of this recurring exhibit examines topics including how fossilized bones and artifacts hold clues about how ancient hominins walked, created tools, and adapted to new environments.  Admission is free.

This colorful exhibit showcases five significant collections that have been donated to the Lam Museum within the last two years. Visitors will see Latin American masks; clothing from Oaxaca, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and Albania; and, a selection of Yoruba objects from Nigeria.  Admission is free.

Steeped in ancient traditions, tea is consumed all over the world embodying unique characteristics within different cultures. Mindfulness is the practice of bringing one’s attention to the present moment. A mindful approach to drinking tea provides us with a moment to slow down and engage all our senses throughout the brew. This student-curated exhibit invites visitors to learn about the relationship between tea and mindfulness. Admission is free.
