The Young Friends of the Penn Museum are continuing their tradition of non-traditional Valentine’s Day events, this year bringing Philadelphians “Love Hurts,” an exploration of the harsher side of love in ancient times.
Previous year’s lectures, including “Ancient Girls Gone Wild” and “Cougars, Playas, and Baby Mama Drama” shed light on the love lives of the ancients. This year’s lecture given by museum scholars is sure to contain equally salacious tales.
Whether you are dateless and disgusted by pink heart candies and all things February 14th or just looking for interesting facts on relationships to share with (read: impress) your friends, even happily-in-love couples are welcome to attend this event.
Stick around after the program and join the Young Friends for a cocktail reception (cash bar).
Tickets are available online.
