Giving Priorities

Generous support to the Penn Museum’s Building Transformation Campaign has enabled us to unveil thousands of previously unseen artifacts, expand classroom and fieldwork opportunities for students, transform our signature spaces, and make the visitor experience accessible [and welcoming] to all.

We’re not stopping here! Under the leadership of new Penn Museum Williams Director Christopher Woods, we will continue to inspire impact. You are invited to join us in serving our communities with impactful programs, increasing access, advancing global discovery, and completing the transformation of our galleries—with our most monumental displays yet.

Advance Equity

Expand Global Research and Teaching

Over more than a century, we’ve opened up endless exploration across six continents. New field work endowments will ensure our continued leadership in national and international field research and discovery.
