Named after Clio, the Greek Muse of history.
“Our goal is to give students a platform within the museum where they can enhance and strengthen their undergraduate experience through the Penn Museum’s many resources.”
Clio brings together students who share a common interest in and appreciation for museums, culture, and art. Members will gain a greater understanding of world cultures, arts and culture professions, and the museum field.
Members can train to become Museum docents, volunteer for Museum programming, participate in behind the scenes tours of Museum collections, learn object-based teaching, invite guest speakers, organize events for students, and attend Clio-sponsored visits to other museums.
We welcome individuals from all backgrounds to join! No experience with the Penn Museum is necessary.
