Dr. Jennifer Houser Wegner, Associate Curator in the Egyptian Section at the Penn Museum and guest curator of Glencairn Museum’s Sacred Adornment: Jewelry as Belief in Ancient Egypt exhibition, will deliver an exclusive presentation on the subject of Glencairn’s collection of ancient Egyptian jewelry.

Wegner has carried out fieldwork in Egypt since 1990, working at the sites of Giza, Bersheh, and Abydos. She recently coauthored a book on the 13-ton red granite sphinx of Ramses II at the Penn Museum in Philadelphia, and was involved in the move of this sphinx to its new location in the entrance hall.
