Results of a worldwide photometric investigation of the asteroid 324 Bamberga conducted from September to November 1978 are presented. The full-cycle light curve obtained from observations at Torino, Graz, Catania and Table Mountain observatories shows two maxima and two minima with a maximum amplitude of 0.075 magnitudes from which rotation period of 29.42 plus or minus 0.01 hours is derived. Linear least squares solution of the phase relation results in a phase coefficient of 0.034 plus or minus 0.001 mag/deg, a mean V magnitude of 7.20 and a zero-phase absolute V magnitude of 7.17 plus or minus 0.01. The color indices obtained (0.69 for B-V and 0.36 for U-B) are in agreement with the C taxonomic type assigned to the asteroid. The unusual length of the period of 324 Bamberga relative to that of other asteroids of diameter greater than 200 km is pointed out.
