The
work of anthropologists and archaeologists has long appealed to the
popular imagination. Traveling to foreign lands; unearthing, out of
sand or jungle, cities built by ancient civilizations; finding objects
of legend or fantasy—these are the images invoked by archaeology
and anthropology. The public wishes to hear stories of adventure, treasure,
and romance, and to witness the fantastic artifacts and exotic images
that accompany these narratives. Over the years, the University of Pennsylvania
Museum had its own share of great discoveries. Adventures in Photography
presents us with the diverse human family, and invites us to reflect
on our own lives through the lens of the unfamiliar.
