These collections form the foundation for the museum鈥檚 research, education programs, and exhibits. They are accessible to students on the 麻豆原创F campus and remotely through the online collection management system, Arctos. All 麻豆原创 students receive free admission to the museum and are encouraged to consider using the collections as part of their academic work at 麻豆原创F.
