I love coming to the Penn Museum when I am in Philadelphia. It is a small museum that is packed with many interesting artifacts. Don't miss the Egyptian and Pre-Columbian Galleries which hold fascinating pieces of art and objects of Gods, funeral items and jewelry as well as many decorative objects. The new clothing exhibition "What We Wear" is engaging on how clothes change us when we put them on. The gardens are also a nice place to relax.

Liked seeing all the history, but I was disappointed the section for Israel and Greece were closed. Also we came about lunchtime and the person who scanned us in never let us know that the cafe was closing at 1pm. We were hungry when we got there, but did a section and went to the cafe and it was already closed. We ended up rushing the other sections so we could leave and eat. Most places stay open until at least 2pm.

Well organized, expansive museum that’s not as overwhelming as a place like the MET or AMNH (which I do adore). Sections on Israel, Rome, Greece, Etruria, the Middle East, and more. Their Egyptian and Asian section is spectacular, and is housed in a beautiful rotunda. They also have wonderful Native American/First Nation people/Central American peoples exhibits with easy to use, fun interactive kiosks so you can learn more about the artists or artifacts that interest you. They also have a well done small African section. I spent about three hours here, including a leisurely lunch at the cafe, which includes basic sandwiches, snacks, and drinks—and isn’t as expensive as other museum cafes—assuming because it’s a campus museum. You could spend more time if you read every single thing, but I focused more on specific things that interested me. I did this along with the mutter museum. It’s about a mile walk between the two. Mutter takes about 1-1 1/2 hours. I finished up around 2 after starting at 10 AM.
