Abstract

Margaret Mead's museum-related activities involved establishment of a sizable ethnographic collection (particularly during her fieldwork on Manus and in New Guinea), exhibition of these artifacts in her Peoples of the Pacific Hall, and an active concern with conservation and restoration of overall ethnographic research collections. Her attitude toward museums reflected a characteristic blend of the pragmatic and the intensely personal.
