Programs
International Classroom
International Classroom is a innovative and creative program of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology's Education Department. Our mission is to engage students while promoting intercultural understanding between residents of the Delaware Valley area and people from around the world.
Professional Development
Increase content knowledge, discover new resources, and swap stories when you attend professional development opportunities at Penn Museum! Teachers' Workshops are interactive lecture and/or hands-on workshops designed by Museum staff and co-sponsors.
Classroom Workshops
Enjoy our archaeology and anthropology workshops in our new classroom! In our Classroom Workshops students will experience a hands-on and minds-on array of interactive, thought provoking activities that will complement and strengthen your museum visit.
Commonwealth Lecture Program
The Commonwealth Lecture Program's mission is to make the resources of the Museum available throughout the public library system of the State of Pennsylvania. Anthropologists and archaeologists offer talks on a variety of subjects for library audiences, both children and adults.
Distance Learning
Bring the Penn Museum right to your classroom with an interactive video conference! Supplement textbook study by examining the material culture of ancient as well as living people. Identify and describe the cultural aspects of specific groups, comparing and contrasting them to your students’ own experience.
Museum on the Go
Penn Museum's award-winning Museum on the Go educational program has been bringing ancient and traditional cultures into Philadelphia Schools for more than 25 years.
Loan Box Program
Using a Loan Box is a great way to bring a little bit of the Museum right into the classroom. On a limited basis, we can create a Loan Box for your class that contains artifacts from one of the many cultural groups represented in our Museum galleries.
