Berman Museum of World History
The Berman Museum of World History in Anniston, Calhoun County, showcases Farley and Germaine Berman's collection of 6,000-some pieces of art, antiquities, arms, and armor. The museum opened in 1996 with the goal of teaching visitors about history through the significance of the collection's objects.
The Bermans' collections include items dating to their experiences during their military deployments and overseas travels as well as artifacts and art purchased through various international and domestic dealers, auction houses, and flea markets. They acquired hundreds of bronzes, paintings by European, Asian, and American artists, historically significant artifacts, ethnographic material, weapons, and historical documents.
The museum exhibits contain oil paintings, jade sculptures, bronzes by American sculptor Frederic Remington, ancient and modern weapons, photos, and clothing. The building contains two floors with two galleries on each floor.
