Sharing Magic Spells and 3D Models—Get to Know the Doctor!

October 02, 2015

Thank you all for your support! We're in the last 13 days of our campaign to bring The Doctor to the renovated Hearst Museum lobby. Our remaining funding goals are big ones—the displays and interactives that will teach visitors about The Doctor and let you spin and zoom the 3D model of the coffin lid!

Check out our Get to Know The Doctor update video to see Dr. Rita Lucarelli share her insights on the magical spells that cover the lid. Hear about her plans to 3D model ancient Egyptian coffins in the Hearst Museum—a new project sponsored by Digital Humanities at Berkeley.

We hope that you would consider making a gift to support our project, and help bring more content like this to the Berkeley community. Whatever amount you can give helps us get closer to our goals, and we are excited to see gifts at all levels as encouragement for visitors to come to our gallery in the near future!

Thank You for Helping Us Reach Over 50% in One Week!

September 22, 2015

Our team is so excited to announce that we are over 50% funded in only one week of our four week campaign! Every donation—no matter the amount—is another vote of support for our 2016 gallery reopening. We're now able to move The Doctor and make a new display mount. Our final $10,000 will go to creating the displays to educate visitors about The Doctor and introduce the rest of our diverse collection. 

This video helps you "Get to Know the Doctor" and learn about how our early collections were key in the historical development of Anthropology!
