| "This is a dream realized, not only for the Museum and for researchers, but for the entire community. The international collections to be stored in the new Mainwaring Wing are a part of our shared human heritage and the Museum holds them in trust, for research, education and exhibition development for generations to come. The Stoner Courtyard garden, featuring plants from three continents, is an elegant new contemplative public garden space, and one that we want the regional community to visit, use, and enjoy."--Jeremy A. Sabloff, The Williams Director, University of Pennsylvania Museum | |||

In May 2002, construction was completed on the newest addition to the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology: a 17-million-dollar Mainwaring Wing for collections storage and study and the adjacent Stoner Courtyard garden. Click on the links below to learn more about this state-of the art
collections study and storage facility, built to house the Museum's most
"at risk" artifacts from around the world, the refurbished public garden
space, and the many people who helped to make this important Museum
addition a reality. |
