Conservator Julia Lawson speaks to visitors through one of the Artifact Lab’s open windows

Yesterday was the Penn Museum’s 125th Anniversary! To celebrate the event, the museum held a free Open House, and the galleries were open from 10am to 10pm. In the Artifact Lab, we kept our 2 windows open all day, and conservators Julia Lawson and Nina Owczarek were busy all day speaking with visitors and answering questions. If you made it in yesterday, thanks for coming out to support the museum! If you didn’t, remember that we have open window periods every day that the museum is open, which are:

Tuesday-Friday 11:15am and 2:00pm and Saturday-Sunday 1:00pm and 3:30pm

Looking forward to seeing you in the Artifact Lab!
