Location and Accessibility

Accessibility

The Penn Museum's East Entrance is the closest to the Penn Museum Library. It can be entered via the driveway on the east side of the Penn Museum from Convention Avenue, south of South Street, just past the entrance to Penn Museum Lot 7. This driveway is directly across from the SEPTA Penn Medicine Regional Rail Station (formerly University City Station). Guests may be dropped off at the East Entrance, but the Kress Lot is not open for public parking. This entrance has a power-assisted door.

Additional Information

The map on the right shows the location of the Penn Museum's East Entrance. Both the Main Entrance and the East Entrance are accessible, but the East Entrance is more convenient for getting to the Penn Museum Library.

See the Penn Museum's Accessibility page for more details.
