University of Penn Museum of Archaeology

Detail: In its 120-year history, Penn Museum has collected 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.
