Hands-on History: Caring for Culture Through Conservation at Penn Museum

The Penn Museum Conservation Department invites high school students interested in art and science for a day of hands-on activities. Come see what we’re working on in the lab, walk through the galleries to examine objects in the collection, and learn about the conservation techniques that help preserve artwork and cultural heritage for the future.

Hands-on History is a series of free workshops for high school students. Meet professionals, gain experience in STEAM-focused workshops, and engage with resources at the Penn Museum. Lunch is provided, and two-way SEPTA ride cards available for transportation.
