Penn will be celebrating more than the annual return of her far-flung alumni on Saturday, Nov. 11. The University Museum will have a day-long homecoming of its own as well.

The artifacts that captivated more than half a million people across the United States during the Museum’s “Searching for Ancient Egypt” tour are back home, where they will be on display — some of them for the first time at the Museum — during “An Ancient Egyptian Afternoon,” which also features special guided tours, quizzes, crafts, a scavenger hunt and traditional Middle Eastern dances. A morning workshop for children ages 8 to 12, “Walk Like an Egyptian,” gets the young ones warmed up for the fun.
