Philadelphia’s museums are beginning to welcome back visitors, including three of the city’s most exciting museums — the Museum of the American Revolution, The Barnes, and Penn Museum. Here’s what to expect:
Museum of the American Revolution
The exhibits at the Museum of the American Revolution go well beyond what the colonists were fighting for, how they fought and how they struggled to form the nation. The museum delves into the often forgotten perspectives of African Americans and Native Americans and how their lives were affected by the war and questions who was included in the phrase “all men were created equal” in the Declaration of Independence. Tip: Finish your visit with the immersive film about George Washington’s tent and then see the actual tent that housed the nation’s first Commander in Chief, and is the centerpiece of the museum’s collection.
