I expected it to be a good museum as I knew that it was home to the sibling of the Ram in a Thicket from the British museum but it exceeded my expectations. The Sumerian collection is their obvious forte, one of the most extensive I've seen, with some artifacts dating back to 6th millennium BC and objects from the royal burial of Ur. Also their Etruscan rooms and Canaan and Ancient Israel collections are terrific.

We where not expecting it going in but it turned out the CANAAN & ANCIENT ISRAEL GALLERY exhibit turned out to be our favorite. There focused galleries are: Canaan Isreal Etruscan Italy Greece Rome Arian Egypt Native American Middle East Sphinx So if you are interested in ancient cultures this is a place for you, Ensure you check website for visiting detail before you go. At the time we went there was construction work in the surrounding streets so the main entrance was closed so the Spruce Street entrance was a good choice. The museum is an easy trolley or bus ride from the city center. We spend about 4-5 hours at the museum and only saw about half the exhibits. So there is lots to see for sure.

I’ve been meaning to check out the Penn Museum for awhile and the ongoing snow/sleet situation this winter has provided ample opportunity to stay indoors. There is a lot to see at the museum, so pace yourself! It’s a huge collection (some of which are the largest in the US) covering everything from fan favorites like Egyptian art, Greco/Roman/Etruscan pieces, Middle Eastern artifacts and African art. They also have wings devoted to Asian, Native American and Central/South American (e.g. Mayan, Olmec, etc.,) artifacts. The museum has been undergoing an extensive renovation, which is certainly bringing new life to the collection and I imagine all the new touch screens will keep kids happy. Highlights for me were: The Royal Tombs at Ur (Middle Eastern gallery), seeing some of the unwrapped mummies (Egyptian gallery), the Artifact Lab (see what museum conservators do), masks & ivory carvings ( African gallery) and the jewel box space that houses the Greek pieces. Also note the exterior grounds are quite lovely and I would absolutely revisit during the warmer months to enjoy the courtyard & balcony areas. Be aware there is construction around the museum as well, but I easily found street parking ($2.50 p/hour) two blocks away. If not, the museum website lists both garages and lots available for parking. Regarding tickets, buying timed tickets online will save you $2 off admission. I also spoke with the front desk at the Penn Museum about the joint Mutter Museum ticket. They refunded my original ticket amount and then billed me for the joint ticket.
