Designed and built to be a premier cultural institution in Philadelphia, the mid-Atlantic region, the country, and the world, it should come as no surprise that the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology has a long history of community outreach and collaboration. This is particularly evident in the Museum’s educational programs that connect throughout the city, the Delaware Valley, across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and increasingly around the globe via new initiatives involving the greater understanding and appreciation of the world’s cultural heritage.

Sponsor a School Group
To help make our world-class collection more accessible for K-12 students attending underserved public schools, the Penn Museum has created a new Sponsor a School Group program asking our corporate neighbors to underwrite free class trips for local school groups. Free visits include bus transportation assistance, a docent-guided tour of the galleries focusing on a cultural topic of the school's choosing, and related International Classroom speaker presentations and activities. A $1,000 contribution will underwrite a trip for a group of 50 - 60 students, plus teachers and chaperones.
