Happenings

The Penn Museum opens a twelve-month interactive project to investigate the perspectives of the public with regard to the massive continent of Africa. Imagine Africa with the Penn Museum will present more than fifty objects relating to eight broad topics: beauty, strength, power, healing, fashion, change, creation, and divinity. Through a variety of engagement opportunities, visitors will be asked to provide feedback on the objects and the content they see. The installation is a step toward the museum’s long-term plans to reenvision its African gallery for a twenty-first-century audience.
