The Fowler Museum of Cultural History at the University of California, Los Angeles explores art and material culture primarily from Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas.  From works of sculpture, to masquerade regalia, to tools valued for their practical functions, the collections represent prehistoric, historic and contemporary cultures and comprise more than 750,000 objects.  Of particular note are extensive African collections, Pre-Columbian ceramics, and textiles that trace the history of cloth over two millennia and five continents.  The selected images in this collection were contributed by the Fowler to the MESL (Museum Educational Site Licensing) project from 1996-1997, in which UVa was a participant.
