Admission is FREE for Penn Museum Members and Children under 6.

Participation in the 2:30pm workshop is first come, first serve.

The Happening occurs at 4pm with the option to adopt a foal!

Visitors will work with artist Douglas Repetto to assemble a herd of vicious foals—small walking tables made from scrap wood and a simple mechanism. The monstrous herd will then be set free in the majestic China Rotunda where an epic struggle between good and evil may or may not take place.
