Join area teachers at the Penn Museum for an Educators' Evening. Be among the first patrons to discover more about the upcoming landmark exhibition, Secrets of the Silk Road while you learn how Penn Museum programs can supplement and support your classroom curriculum. Penn Museum on the University of Pennsylvania campus is the only East Coast venue for Secrets of the Silk Road. This family-friendly exhibition showcases recent discoveries from the vast Tarim Basin desert in western China, where a series of rich and culturally diverse burials and spectacularly preserved mummies have been uncovered. Secrets of the Silk Road tells the fascinating story of 3,500 years of trade and cultural exchange along the world's most famous trading route. Visitors will encounter ancient jewelry, clothing, textiles, personal items and even the remarkably preserved food of these famous mummies from Central Asia. Exhibition organized by the Bowers Museum (Santa Ana, California), in association with the Archaeological Institute of Xinjiang and the Urumqi Museum. Professional development credit available. Light refreshments will be served
