About Fowler Museum at UCLA

The Fowler Museum at UCLA (commonly known as The Fowler, formerly the Museum of Cultural History and Fowler Museum of Cultural History) is a museum on the campus of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) which explores art and material culture primarily from Africa, Asia, the Pacific, and the Americas, past and present.

The Fowler is home to two permanent exhibitions. Four other galleries at the museum host temporary art exhibitions, often simultaneously.
