Penn Museum Visionaries is the Museum’s brand-new premier membership program. The name of this new recognition program speaks to our belief in the Museum’s power to inspire the next generation of scholars and foster a more understanding and equitable world. Through their philanthropy, Visionaries demonstrate a remarkable commitment to the care of the Museum’s art and artifacts and the communities we serve.
Visionaries are the Museum’s most generous membership and annual fund donors, giving $2,500 or more in essential unrestricted support. Visionaries play a crucial role in what happens at the Museum every day. Members receive a personalized membership experience and access to events that bring them up-close with the Museum’s extraordinary collection and research. We hope you will join us in our next chapter and become a charter member of the Penn Museum Visionaries.
