Method-Based Approaches
The Penn Museum’s collections document the history of the human experience from its earliest beginnings and are particularly well-suited to courses with an interest in anthropology & ethnography, art history & design, and archaeology.
Interdisciplinary Collaboration
Visits to the Penn Museum aren’t only for classes in Anthropology and Ancient History. We work with faculty from across the curriculum to develop class activities that incorporate the Museum’s galleries and collections as a platform for all types of learning.
