Explore Ancestral Puebloan Village at BYU

Brigham Young University’s Museum of Peoples and Cultures is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with free admission at 2201 North Canyon Road in Provo. (mpc.byu.edu) The museum’s current exhibitions include “Utah Valley,” “Intertwined: Basketry Around the World,” and “Kava Bowls: Stories of Community in the Pacific Islands,” all listed for April 2025 through April 2026. (mpc.byu.edu) Visitors can tour the galleries on their own during open hours, and the museum says its exhibits are designed for independent, self-guided visits. (mpc.byu.edu) The museum also offers gallery activities and worksheets, and visitors who finish one can pick up a prize at the front desk. (mpc.byu.edu) For families and school groups, the museum takes advance requests for docent-led tours through its education office at least two weeks before a visit. (mpc.byu.edu) The museum says sensory bags are available at the front desk and include items such as stuffed animals, beading, Fremont figurines, rabbit fur, and Kokum scarves. It also says the exhibitions are accessible for visitors using wheelchairs, walkers, and other mobility supports. (mpc.byu.edu) BYU says the museum holds more than 1 million artifacts from around the world, and Utah Valley lists it as a museum of archaeology and ethnology that grew from anthropology collections built through university expeditions in the 1960s. (mpc.byu.edu, utahvalley.com) The museum’s public listings now point visitors to a broader set of culture exhibits inside the building, rather than a single Southwest-focused installation, and the official BYU exhibitions page is the clearest guide to what is on view this week.
