About this event
First Wednesdays, from October-June, join renowned experts to unearth the fascinating stories behind artifacts and cultural items in our flagship virtual lecture series, Artifacts in Action! Whether you’re exploring data locked inside the intricate cords of a Wari khipu, the craftsmanship and utility of a salmon-skin robe, or the challenges of carefully conserving an ancient Egyptian monument, these talks take you beyond the gallery label. Using the VXP platform, zoom in on the imperfections in a painted surface, trace the hand-sewn stitches in a garment, pan a 360-degree view of an archaeological site, or rotate objects in three dimensions to reveal details that are as close as you can get to holding it in your own hands! Series is free for Penn Museum Members. Join now or register today: https://bit.ly/4cCQLky
