The Women’s Committee of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology develops and champions programs to stimulate interest in the Museum, cultivates new audiences, and promotes Museum membership and attendance. The Committee provides financial support for Museum fund-raising efforts, and creative ideas and funding for new and ongoing projects.

About The Women's Committee

 In 1937 a small group of women, primarily wives and relatives of Penn Museum’s Board of Managers, formed the Women’s Committee to help stimulate interest in the Museum’s research and educational programs, and provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Today, 50 members strong, the Women’s Committee works actively to develop and champion new programs designed to introduce Penn Museum to a wider audience, broaden its base of members and supporters, and help maintain its operation.  More
