Cougars, Playas And Baby Mama Drama: Is THIS What It Takes To Get You Philistines To Visit A Museum Every Once In A While?
Whenever we talk to our friends in the museum biz, it’s always the same thing: They’re always very concerned with getting young adults (read: people who don’t have kids and thus are not forced to go to museums) into their respective museums, concerned that the programming is relevant, concerned that when The Olds die off that they will, too. So read “Young Friends Annual Valentine Program: Cougars, Playas, and Baby Mama Drama in the Ancient World” at the Penn Museum the same way we do: A desperate cry for help from the kind of institution that should never be that desperate. That the Penn Museum is this willing to Wendy Williams-ize itself just for your entertainment speaks volumes about just how much they want you to visit the place. They’ll do anything! Just go already. It’s making us sad.

If they really want to get young people excited about their museum, they need to rename it The Penn.
