Site Visit: Penn Museum

I serve on the board of directors for Nationalities Services Center, an organization that's been serving immigrants and refugees for 90 years.  To celebrate our 90th anniversary, we are of course having a big party.  This year's 90th anniversary gala will likely be held at the University of Pennsylvania's Museum of Archeology and Anthropology.  Earlier this week, I did a site visit and man, this place is cool. 

I walked in from the South Street entrance to this amazing garden and immediately wanted to have a party there.  Such a beautiful space.  I'm imagining high top tables peppered throughout with floating candles and flowers in that center pond.  Just so pretty. 

 Our gala would be held in the Chinese Rotunda among the artifacts and the Upper Egypt Room among the Pharaohs and mummies.......

 

But then I took a little tour of the rest of the event spaces like the Lower Egypt room.  Just imagine a wedding ceremony at the foot of the sphinx!

Like this adventurous couple did...

There are so many interesting and cool details about this place, the authentic Tiffany windows, the cobblestone driveway, the dramatic doors, the artifacts...  Definitely worth a look when you are looking for a unique space for your next event!
