Penn Museum Admission Ticket

This is a fascinating museum and the more I saw of it the more impressed I was.
I started off in the Egyptian section and worked my way through the rest of the museum.
I was so inspired by the museum that I spent much longer there than expected and therefore had to amend my plans for the rest of tge day.

What a fascinating look into history. The Egypt exhibit was under renovation but still much of the exhibit was there. It covered so much and included things from prehistory to modern day. I really enjoyed the Asian exhibit, especially the Chinese lions.

This is a museum of antiquity and the collection is amazing and the museum is huge. Great for kids and adults. Little cafe inside. There is so much to see - so we picked one room to focus on and are definitely going back on our next trip to Philly. University parking is right next door. Beautiful garden in front. Wonderful. Hidden gem!

My wife and I, with two teens, spent about 3-4 hours here! We loved it!! There is so much history here it's unbelievable. For as stunning as it is, there is a certain sadness as well that we felt knowing all of the artifacts here are largely not in their homelands. The preservation of such artifacts is necessary and they clearly have done a fantastic job with it. We were just marveled by the endless wings and rooms of what is on display. We at lunch here too and it was very good!

Excellent experience!! If you are interested in their topic, do not hesitate. The collection is exceptional and the staff is so helpful. I think the signage could be better but the overall experience was great.

Outstanding! We visited the museum store on our way out and we’re very impressed with the knowledge and experience of the museum store staff. Made it a GREAT experience! Thank you!!!

This museum is a must-see for anyone visiting Philadelphia, including kids of all ages. An amazing collection of artifacts in an amazing space, reminding me of Rome's Pantheon.

I really enjoyed the museum but I was on holiday and excited to see the Israel and Canaan exhibits but they were closed for the day I visited. Otherwise 5 star

Amazing museum, absolutely a must see in Philadelphia. The combination of anthropology and archeology focus really helps to explain what it is that you're looking at and the museum's excellent displays of information, interactive areas, help visitors to really learn about their artifacts more succinctly. Really appreciate their efforts to display and explain their artifacts to visitors.

They have done a great job displaying and explaining their huge collections. Strongly recommend for anyone interested in history particularly ancient history. Definitely worth going to. We’ll be back.

The grandkids really liked the mummies and in general, the Egyptian rooms were the biggest hits! We really enjoyed our visit!

This museum was so much bigger than I realized and we really should have budgeted more time to see it. The layout was easy to follow and they had many different artifacts from various cultures and time periods. I appreciated their acknowledgment of where their artifacts came from. Like I said. My only regret was only alloying about 2 hours to see it all (which we didn’t). Plan to spend at least 3-4 hours here if you’re the kind of person that reads all of the information at the exhibits

The museum has an amazing collection of artifacts from all over. An excellent compromise between art-loving dad and history-loving son. And a lovely campus.

Staff sitting at the front main entrance Saturday should be fired for how they treat people. My family, friends and anyone I know will never visit there again. What a disgrace to the museum. We drove 3 hrs to be treated like garbage. Very distasteful.

I love coming to the Penn Museum when I am in Philadelphia. It is a small museum that is packed with many interesting artifacts.

Don't miss the Egyptian and Pre-Columbian Galleries which hold fascinating pieces of art and objects of Gods, funeral items and jewelry as well as many decorative objects.

The new clothing exhibition "What We Wear" is engaging on how clothes change us when we put them on.

The gardens are also a nice place to relax.

Liked seeing all the history, but I was disappointed the section for Israel and Greece were closed. Also we came about lunchtime and the person who scanned us in never let us know that the cafe was closing at 1pm. We were hungry when we got there, but did a section and went to the cafe and it was already closed. We ended up rushing the other sections so we could leave and eat. Most places stay open until at least 2pm.

Well organized, expansive museum that’s not as overwhelming as a place like the MET or AMNH (which I do adore). Sections on Israel, Rome, Greece, Etruria, the Middle East, and more. Their Egyptian and Asian section is spectacular, and is housed in a beautiful rotunda. They also have wonderful Native American/First Nation people/Central American peoples exhibits with easy to use, fun interactive kiosks so you can learn more about the artists or artifacts that interest you. They also have a well done small African section.

I spent about three hours here, including a leisurely lunch at the cafe, which includes basic sandwiches, snacks, and drinks—and isn’t as expensive as other museum cafes—assuming because it’s a campus museum.

You could spend more time if you read every single thing, but I focused more on specific things that interested me. I did this along with the mutter museum. It’s about a mile walk between the two. Mutter takes about 1-1 1/2 hours. I finished up around 2 after starting at 10 AM.
