[edit] Photo

A photo or two of the museum building/courtyards and the Harrison Rotunda would be nice additions - AKeen 04:02, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Since when is the museum "commonly knowns as the UPM"? The University Museum is how I have always heard it referred to. --—Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.123.86.203 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Unsourced

I have removed the following info from the page since it has been unsourced for a long time, and I never have found any reference of it elsewhere. "(and the subject of a dramatic theft and rescue some years ago; the crystal ball was discovered stowed in a bowling bag in the home a relative of one of the thieves, while its elegant silver stand, a stylized ocean wave, was found in a culvert not far from the Museum." - AKeen 16:13, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

It was rather big news in Philadelphia at the time; I found an Inquirer reference, although, alas, I couldn't substantiate my favorite detail, the bowling ball bag, in the archive summary available online. Robertissimo 22:49, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
