This was actually the coolest thing ever, so thanks for having me... I wasn’t expecting much to be super interesting, but I was pleasantly surprised by how everything was not only super cool, but related to my field of study.

Teens visit free Tuesday-Friday, 3:00-5:00 pm and all day Saturday-Sunday, 10:00 am-5:00 pm. Walk up and mention birthdate, zip code, and the school you attend. Interactive exhibits and weekend gallery tours dig deeper into the history and vibrant stories within the Penn Museum's world-renowned collections. Get up close with artifacts and learn something new about our shared humanity, or experience anthropology, archaeology and the Penn Museum in a new way through programs developed specifically for you.

Summer Interns

June 19 - August 16, 2024*

*APPLICATION CLOSED.

The Penn Museum is able to host a small cohort of paid teen interns through the Bloomberg Arts Internship (BAI) Program each summer. BAI interns work directly with a specific Museum department (Conservation, Marketing, Exhibits, etc.) to gain valuable hands-on experience, while also receiving engaging professional development and college readiness workshops from BAI staff.
