Join us for another PCS Adventure!

See the Medieval Manuscript Collection
at the University of Pennsylvania
Wednesday, May 14, 2025 at 10:30 AM

We have been invited to see a selection of
illuminated manuscripts from the Schoenberg Collection
at the Kislak Center of the University of Pennsylvania.
The Collection is on the 6th floor of the Van Pelt Library
on the University campus.

This is a wonderful chance to get up close and personal with antique calligraphic treasure!

Our group is limited to 15 participants.
You will need a photo ID to get into the library.

We will meet Curator Dot Porter
downstairs in the library at 10:30 AM.
and then take the elevator up to the Collection.

Since parking is very limited near the campus,
we suggest taking a train to the 30th Street Station
and then walking 4 blocks to 34th and Walnut.

Pre-registration is required; click HERE to register.
