The Penn Museum is 125 years old! That's old! Pretty old! A century and a quarter ago, the Trustees of Dear Old Penn decided to send a research team to Babylonia and resolved to build a center to display any artifacts retrieved from the expedition. Over the years, Museum has amassed over 1,000,000 objects (six zeroes, thankyouverymuch). That's...a lot.
To celebrate, the Museum has launched a fancy new website with a Collections Database that allows users to curate their finds and share them with others. It's neat. Check it out!
