The 13 Best Museums in Philadelphia, From Art Galleries to Medical Museums | Condé Nast Traveler

"A hidden gem nestled within the University City neighborhood on the University of Pennsylvania campus , the Penn Museum is dedicated to anthropology and archaeology. The collection is comprised of art and artifacts largely discovered by the University's own archaeologists and researchers in the 19th and early-20th centuries. Galleries are organized by geography and culture, and include China and Japan, The Middle East, Egypt, Mexico and Central America, Native Americans, Ancient Rome and Greece, and Ancient Israel. The collection is massive—you could definitely spend hours here, but if you want a quick hit, don't miss the sphinx (the largest in the Western hemisphere)." - Nancy DePalma
