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 PowerPoint presentation in the exhibition space on the subject of Glencairn’s collection of ancient Egyptian jewelry. Members will also have an opportunity to see jewelry in Glencairn’s Greek and Roman collection with Museum educators, and enjoy coffee, tea, and light refreshments throughout the morning.

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 at the Penn Museum.
