19th Annual Peace around the World
Guests of all ages are invited for the free 19th annual "Peace around the World" holiday celebration. Visitors receive Museum "passports for peace" upon arrival, then "depart" on a world tour throughout the Museum's galleries to explore holiday festivals, history, cuisine, and traditions from China, Haiti, India, Japan, Lithuania, Mexico, Poland, and Russia. In the spirit of cultural understanding, this joyful and distinctively international celebration includes family crafts to share personal wishes for a peaceful world. Free admission. Supported in part by the William M. King Charitable Foundation, the Women's Committee of the Penn Museum, and CxRA.
