For over a century, the University of Pennsylvania has served as a leading hub for studying ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern art and archaeology, encompassing Etruscan, Greek, and Roman civilizations through Late Antiquity. The program benefits from the extensive collections at the University Museum of Art and Archaeology, with all ancient art faculty in the History of Art department maintaining curatorial or research roles in the Museum's Near Eastern or Mediterranean Sections. Penn's archaeologists and ancient art historians oversee more than 50 research initiatives across five continents - exceeding the scope of any comparable North American archaeological or anthropological program or museum.
