Arthur Ross Gallery, Fisher Fine Arts Library

Museum, a comic play by Tina Howe, is set in the contemporary gallery of an art museum on the final day of a group show. The real “show,” however, is the parade of forty visitors, as they interact with one another and react wildly to all they see. Museum looks at people looking at art— to hilarious and moving effect. The cast of twenty-seven actors features students, faculty, staff, and other members of the Penn community.
