Family Day Collection

We offer free, illuminating academic and non-academic talks on the subjects of human evolution, archaeology, culture, arts, and heritage. Most talks and lectures take place in-person at the museum, but we sometimes also offer online events.

We have a robust museum membership program that you can learn about and join at various levels, by visiting: https://bit.ly/MaxCommunity. Depending on your level, you are invited to special member events that include free tours and social gatherings.

This series of free events places dance and music at the center of our common humanity. Join us as we gather to dance in our museum as well as create community and learn about different types of dance traditions from around the world.

In celebration of our temporary exhibit "Oaxaca Ingobernable: Aesthetics, Politics and Art from Below," we are offering five, free hands-on workshops for students and the public featuring guest artist & printmaker Pavel Acevedo.
