    Penn Museum will offer an archaeologist’s perspective on The Complete Persepolis. Explore why Persepolis, originally built in 515 B.C. and an UNESCO World Heritage Site in Iran, is the title of the award-winning graphic novel memoir. Dyson Assistant Curator Lauren Ristvet will share her thoughts, as well as more information about the important Iranian site. The event will conclude with an optional short tour of the Museum’s Islamic gallery, which features a variety of Iranian pieces. Admission is “pay-what-you-want.”
