In this lecture, Dr. W. Warner Wood explores the past, present and future of what museum anthropology has been and could be through examples from his own work from the 1990s through to today that began with a focus on material culture and has moved toward what he calls Participatory Action Museography.

He is also Adjunct Curator of Anthropology at the Milwaukee Public Museum and a past-president of the Council for Museum Anthropology.
