Interactive Virtual Learning Programs

Bring the Penn Museum to you using video conferencing technology! Interact LIVE with a Museum educator as you are guided through a virtual learning experience that highlights parts of our collections through conversations, object analysis, and making activities. Our Virtual Programs are easily adjusted to fit learning levels of any group and connection type!

Virtual Visit Offerings

“Students were able to use information they had learned in a different environment and context. It made the class material applicable and added depth to their knowledge and understanding.”

Virtual Programs are tied to the U.S. national education standard in Common Core and engage key 21st-century skills such as cross-disciplinary thinking and media literacy, as well as Global Competencies.

Technology Requirements

Not to worry, we are able to connect with you without the need of any special equipment or extra downloads! After you schedule your program, you will have access to technical support from our staff.

While we are able to connect on any digital platform, the Penn Museum continues to offer secure virtual spaces that offers a one-click connect with most internet-supported hardware, such as video conferencing systems (H.323) laptop, and mobile devices.
