Host an Event
Our beautiful historic building located on the University of Pennsylvania’s campus is one of Philadelphia’s premier venues for weddings, celebrations, corporate, and philanthropic events.
This is among my most favorite museums and it has been so for over twenty years. I suggest planning at least 3+ hours in order to fully enjoy your experience.
