Penn Museum (3260 South Street) on the Penn Campus. Enter through the Main Entrance. 

The public is invited to the opening celebration of the Penn Museum's new Native North American Gallery. 

Shaped in collaboration with eight Indigenous consulting curators, this multi-sensory gallery highlights the powerful stories of self-determination as told by Indigenous peoples across four regions in the U.S.—despite attempts to erase their identities, cultures, and languages.

Don’t miss this meaningful day of coming together as a community to celebrate cultural continuity and creativity as you explore 250+ cultural items and contemporary artworks on view.
