Penn Museum Summer Nights concert series starts tonight!
Penn Museum is hosting a concert series featuring and promoting international music from various artists and groups every Wednesday.
For the third year, the Penn Museum will be bringing back their beloved summer concert series starting tonight! The series, held in Penn Museum's Stoner Courtyard, features weekly performances of diverse and unique styles from many artists and groups, ranging from folk, funk, bossa nova, rock, fusion, and much more. The outdoor setting for this series is relaxing and tranquil, with food and drinks from Pepper Mill Cafe's garden bar further adding to the experience.
Along with the summer concert series, the Penn Museum itself is open until 8pm, with the special exhibition Maya 2012: The Lords of Time being featured. General admission for the show $5, and if you'd like to view the exhibition, it's only $10 extra.
