Drexel | How Drexel University is Seen in ‘Philadelphia Revealed’
See how Dragons left their touch on the exhibition — and what objects came from Drexel alumni and even the University itself.

"In Philadelphia Revealed: Unpacking the Attic, the newest exhibition from the Atwater Kent Collection at Drexel University, there are multiple Drexel University connections found in the more than 600 objects showing 350 years of Philadelphia history.
Some of those are hiding in plain sight, and some of those are saying “Hello!” to you when you enter the exhibition space at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA).
The exhibition, with a newly extended run until April 6, 2025, is free for anyone with a Drexel DragonCard. And the University’s free shuttle bus service, operating from both the University City and Queen Lane campuses, has a stop within walking distance to PAFA.
No matter how long you’ve lived in Philadelphia — and/or worked or studied at Drexel University — there’s so much to see and learn in the exhibit."
