Urban Anthropology Inc

Urban Anthropology Inc. is an organization located directly west of Bay View in the Old South Side Settlement Museum at 707 W. Lincoln Avenue.  Urban Anthropology was formed in 1999 by a group of cultural anthropologists who wanted to make contributions to Milwaukee using skills acquired through the study and practice of anthropology, such as cultural research, museum curation, cultural land-use, neighborhood oral histories, teaching, film-making, and other art forms. Urban Anthropology has developed a series of programs of national and Wisconsin interest. Find out more by visiting their website: www.urban-anthropology.org
