This museum on the campus of Brigham Young University in Provo UT is not very large, but has an interesting and varied collection. All of the artifacts are from BYU’s anthropology department, and most focus on the Utah basin.
Some photos from a visit:
For those who don't know, I live in a converted campervan and travel around the country, posting photo diaries of places that I visit.
