The Penn Museum’s Secrets Of The Silk Road Exhibition To Be Featured On NBC Tonight
Join NBC 10 anchor Tim Lake tonight, March 3, at 7:30 p.m. as he explores the story behind Secrets of the Silk Road, the Penn Museum’s new landmark exhibition from China.
The show will feature in-depth interviews with officials that are key to the exhibition, plus background on some of the major artifacts on display such as the “Beauty of Xiaohe,” a 3,800 year old mummy.
The exhibition has also gotten love from national news outlets, like The New York Times and today’s glowing review in The Washington Post . Our favorite quote:
“The curtailed run of the show, and the magnificence of what it contains, make this timed-entry, ticket-only exhibition one of the hottest events on the East Coast. Even without the mummies, it is a must-see.”
You can visit the exhibition through March 28 (March 17-28, the exhibition will continue with all the artifacts but without the two headlining mummies).
