Penn Museum (33rd & South Streets)
40 Winks
with the Sphinx
Penn Museum's new sleepover program, 40 Winks with the Sphinx, invites guests to an overnight "expedition" of the Museum. The night's activities are geared to take intrepid explorers on a journey through time and across continents, with hands-on opportunities, through games and crafts, to explore ancient Egypt, the ancient Greeks and Romans, the world of the ancient Maya, and more. A scavenger hunt and an evening expedition through the galleries by flashlight offer new ways to connect with the ancient artifacts awaiting discovery. Open to children 6-12 years old and their chaperones (21 years or older). For more information and additional dates, visit www.museum.upenn.edu/new/events/40winks/index.shtml.
