Ordinary life is the world’s greatest museum.

THE ROVING ANTHROPOLOGIST MUSEUM
​

This gallery contains field cards, specimen notes, museum charts, and visual evidence gathered while researching The Roving Anthropologist books. Each begins with something ordinary—a walking stick, a coffee cup, a camper van, or a toilet seat—and follows it into the lives of the people who made it, used it, and gave it meaning.
​
Anthropology reminds us that nothing human is ever "just" an object. These exhibit cards are the field notes behind the books. I hope they encourage you to look a little closer and discover that ordinary life is one of the world's greatest museums.
