Although I have never really enjoyed museums‚ especially historical ones‚ but the trip to the Penn Museum was much different than most. Heading into the museum‚ I certainly did not have an open mind. I was hoping just to snap pictures of the seven artifacts I need and get out of there. I am grateful that my dad went with me and did not allow me to do just that.
