Cultural Responsibility

The Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University is dedicated to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Established by the museum, the DEI committee includes staff, board, and volunteers, aiming to foster ongoing communication, identify improvement areas, and dismantle systems of prejudice and privilege. The museum is committed to the respectful curation of ancient Egyptian mummies, providing clear signage for those who prefer to avoid them. Additionally, the museum acknowledges the historical and contemporary significance of the land, originally inhabited by the Muscogee (Creek) people, and aims to honor their legacy. For further details, the museum encourages feedback via carlosmuseuminfo@emory.edu and provides more information through Emory University’s DEI office.
