“A Taste of the Brooks Museum” is on display in the library! Located in the case next to the stairwell in the Lobby, the exhibit features some artifacts, including a “cowboy hat,” textiles and cat mask, from Latin America and Asia.  Special thanks go to Sharon Steadman and the Brooks Museum for loaning these objects.  For more fascinating items visit the Brooks Museum in Moffett Center, Room 2126! Please contact Amanda Halliwell, Secretary for Sociology/Anthropology, at 753-2726 for museum hours.
