Amazing museum, absolutely a must see in Philadelphia. The combination of anthropology and archeology focus really helps to explain what it is that you're looking at and the museum's excellent displays of information, interactive areas, help visitors to really learn about their artifacts more succinctly. Really appreciate their efforts to display and explain their artifacts to visitors.This is a good sized museum. I highly recommend partaking in one of the guided tours, they are very interactive, informative, and really make the whole experience. Just check the schedules. Also, book through Tripadvisor it’s the cheapest ticket around. Parking on the weekend is reasonable.

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.
