To commemorate the 10th anniversary of Unpacking the Past, we’re hosting a back- to-school celebration for all ages.

Anyone can enjoy the field trip experience with hands-on activities such as paint- making from natural materials and a fiber arts play space, as well as family-friendly tours every 30 minutes led by Penn Museum educators.

Event highlights:

  • Stop by the snack zone for free soft pretzels (while supplies last).
  • The first 500 visitors receive a complimentary Unpacking the Past anniversary tote bag.
  • Teacher-parent/caregiver resource area where you can learn about the Penn Museum’s K–12 educational programs and learn how to plan field trips for your students.
