Join the Friends of the Israel Antiquities Authority for a visit to the newly renovated Penn Museum. We will focus our time on the Near East Collection, which contains nearly 90,000 artifacts from Mesopotamia, the Levant, and Iran. These artifacts represent thousands of years of history and cultural heritage, with items dating as early as 5,000 BCE and on to the Early Islamic period (8th or 9th centuries CE). 

The collection includes household tools, jewelry, weapons, cult objects, cosmetics, pottery, and more. Each of these artifacts is a relic of the past, representing the life and history of peoples who lived long before us in cities such as Ur, Persepolis, and Beit Shean.
