Included with admission to the historic site.
The archives of Eastern State Penitentiary are packed with historic treasures that the public rarely sees. Thousands of artifacts are numbered and tucked carefully into museum-grade storage in the site’s administrative offices. Visitors often see photographs of these treasures, but the building’s lack of museum-quality climate control makes it impossible to exhibit the artifacts year-round.
For a limited time only, Eastern State presents Pop-Up Museum. This year's Pop-Up Museum features items selected by guest curator Adrienne G. Whaley and explores the theme of race and segregation at Eastern State Penitentiary. Featured artifacts will include mugshot books and Bertillon intake cards, a silver collar pin (badge) worn by an Eastern State guard, and a copy of The Autobiography of Malcolm X recovered inside the penitentiary.
