Ethnography:

Objects from recent people and cultures

The ethnographic collections consist of items associated with extant or recently extinct populations from around the world. The items are made from animal, vegetable, and/or mineral products and include textiles, clothing, baskets, wooden containers, ceramics (pots and ollas), musical instruments from various countries, and weapons.

The museum's Hall of History contains exhibits showing the material cultures of Native Americans from San Bernardino County and changing exhibits of ethnographic objects from around the world.
