There are seven museums on the UC Berkeley campus, some with a collection hidden away so deep that it takes a grad student to find it. The best of what they uncovered, ranging from Egyptian coffins to Baroque violins and any number of creatures in specimen jars, is now on display for the first time at the Bancroft Library as part of “The Papyrus in the Crocodile: 150 Years of Exploration, Excavation, Collection and Stewardship at Berkeley.” Thirteen students were dispatched to repositories for the departments of anthropology, zoology, classics and art history, among others. The students walked out with robes from the Qing Dynasty, baskets woven by members of the Yokut and Pomo tribes, and the mummified crocodile that inspired the title of the show.
