Penn Museum Gets Bday Present: Shoutout in the NY Times

Like a tweenage girl who insists upon celebrating her birthday for an entire month, the Penn Museum is making sure ’tis not the last time we hear its name before the world semester ends.

Today’s New York Times profiles the only building on campus we dread walking to more than DRL in honor of its 125th anniversary tomorrow. Happy (almost) Birthday!

If you haven’t been to the museum since Freshman year NSO, we recommend stopping by. There’s free (FREE!!) admission all day tomorrow (and everyday for Penn students), but if you can’t make it, check out these vintage vids from the 1950′s game show filmed inside.

How Appetizing


This seems appropriate. A mummy appears to have set up shop near the westernmost entrance to Houston Market, likely as a promotion for the Silk Road exhibit at the Penn Museum. This is a good thing! Because we’d hate to not look at a bunch of preserved human remains (real or simulated) just before eating lunch.
