The KU Museum of Anthropology has several artifact kits and videos available for use in the classroom. The Kuna Molas kit includes a real Central American textile mola, felt demonstration board, maps, pictures, and suggested activities. The Ashanti Goldweights of Africa, Zulu Beadwork of Africa, and Otomi Bark Paper of Mexico packets include artifacts, background information, and art activity suggestions. We also have videos on Native American arts and artists, archaeology, and world cultures. While there is no rental charge for these materials, they must be picked up at and returned to the Museum Gift Shop.
