Founded in 1887, the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology has conducted more than 400 archaeological and anthropological expeditions around the world. Three gallery floors feature materials from ancient Egypt, including Egyptian mummies and colossal architectural elements from a 3,200 year old Egyptian palace - Mesopotamia, the Bible Lands, Mesoamerica, Asia and the ancient Mediterranean World, as well as artifacts from native peoples of Africa and the Americas. The Museum offers a glass-enclosed Museum Cafe overlooking inner gardens, and two shops--the Museum Shop, and the Pyramid Shop for children. With an active exhibition schedule, a membership program, and educational programming for children and adults, Penn Museum offers the public an opportunity to share in the ongoing discovery of humankind's collective heritage.
