    The Bead Museum

    Drawing upon a collection of over 100,000 beads and beaded artifacts, The Bead Museum invites visitors on a visual journey from ancient civilizations to contemporary art. Featuring both permanent and changing exhibitions, The Bead Museum is dedicated to promoting the appreciation of the historical, cultural, and artistic significance of beads - a universal language of human connection. Group tours and classes are available. The Museum Store sells a wide range of publications on beads and related subjects, as well as beads and supplies for the bead worker, and specialist beads for the collector.

    Permanent Exhibits:

    The Language of Beads: An introduction to the terminology used by bead researchers, collectors, traders and crafters to describe the vast variety of bead types, shapes and makes that make up this common language of reference for the specialist and bead enthusiast.

    Beads from Nature: The rich diversity of beads fashioned from the natural materials of the earth using examples from the cultures of the world. The exhibition is presented in two sections: organic materials, or carbon based sources that include plant and animal-based products.

    The History of Beads: The exhibition presents a "time-line" of hundreds of original bead examples and their origins in time and place from 40,000 BCE until today. This showcases the originals in a display curated by Jamey Allen and the time-line first developed by researcher, Jamey Allen.
