This fall, as in the past few years, hundreds of BIO 173 undergraduates at U-M toured the four museums at the Research Museums Center: the Museum of Zoology, the Museum of Paleontology, the Herbarium, and the Museum of Anthropological Archaeology. Artifacts were on display at three stations set up in the UMMAA collections area; here curators, graduate students, and staff spoke to groups of visiting students about the Museum's collections, which include more than three million archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, specimens, and documents.
