Penn Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology552

The Egyptian Galleries of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, on the second and third floors, offer an impressive collection of monumental sculpture, royal architecture, and mysterious mummies. Here you'll encounter the third largest Sphinx in the world, meet mummies face to face, and stand inside a Royal Palace, the world's best preserved and the only one in the US.

Artifacts that originated closer to home include the Native American and Alaskan collections.

The museum also offers a summer day camp, Anthropologists in the Making, for children ages seven to 13, which runs from late June through mid-August. Each week highlights a different theme, offering campers the opportunity to enjoy one week or all eight. For more information, email summercamp@museum.upenn.edu, or call 215.898.4066.

Household membership includes free museum admission for 2 adults and all minor children in a household, two complimentary passes to the museum, and discounts on children's programs.

University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology also features a gift shop and the Pepper Mill Cafe, which is open to the public with or without museum admission.
