About
Peabody Museum
The Peabody Museum at Harvard cares for cultural heritage, including objects and images, from diverse people from around the world and across time. The Peabody has a complicated and sometimes difficult history, but today we are guided by our principles of ethical stewardship, and we aim to welcome and inspire visitors to connect and engage with the collections and each other through exhibits, research, and programs.
Ethical Stewardship in Action
The Peabody Museum pledges its ongoing and sustained commitment to the ethical stewardship of the collections in its care. Ethical stewardship describes a set of values and practices that promote historical reflection while directing museums to become agents of a more equitable and inclusive future. This entails building and nurturing respectful, open, and reciprocal relationships with descendant communities and other heritage stakeholders. As stewards, we are committed to sharing authority with those communities to implement culturally responsive care and interpretation of collections.
