Explore the Past in the University Museum

Constructed in the Northern Italian Renaissance style more than a century ago, the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology houses a collection of nearly one million objects, many obtained directly through its own field excavations or anthropological research.

Three gallery floors feature materials from ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, the Bible Lands, Mesoamerica, Asia, and the ancient Mediterranean World, as well as artifacts from native peoples of the Americas, Africa, and Polynesia. In addition, special exhibitions, both drawn from the Museum's own collections and brought in on loan, enrich the exhibition offerings.  Currently featured at the Museum is Surviving: The Body of Evidence, an interactive exhibition that explores the process of evolution and its profound impact on humans. It runs through May 3, 2009 before beginning a multi-city national tour.

The Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and on Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.  Admission is free to Penn students with their PennCards.
