Logan Museum of Anthropology

The Logan Museum of Anthropology is a university museum in Beloit, Wisconsin, displaying archaeological artifacts and ethnographic collections across two floors of modern exhibition spaces. The galleries present objects from diverse cultures and time periods through organized displays.

The museum was founded in 1894 when Frank Granger Logan donated archaeological objects to establish a scientific collection at the college. This gift laid the foundation for the institution's anthropological research and teaching mission.

The museum preserves Native American craftsmanship and traditions, particularly through the Pokagon Potawatomi Black Ash Baskets collection that visitors can examine. These objects reflect the skills and cultural practices of indigenous peoples.

The museum is located on the Beloit College campus and integrated into the university's academic spaces. Visitors should expect limited hours since it functions primarily as a teaching and research facility.

A two-story glass cube displays selected artifacts using modern conservation technology, allowing visitors to examine objects from multiple viewing angles. This installation demonstrates how contemporary museum design presents ancient pieces.
