The Philadelphia Museum of Art
Yes, it’s the one with the Rocky steps. But there is much, much more to this museum (it’s one of the largest in the country).
The Franklin Institute of Science
Geared more towards kids, but perfect for anyone of any age who is curious and wants to play around with science.
The Barnes Foundation
The Albert Barnes Foundation (a.k.a. museum) houses more Renoirs than in all of France. The building is stunning. Absolutely amazing collection of impressionist, post-impressionist and modernists art.
Mummers Museum
The uniquely Philadelphia Mummer’s Day Parade also has its own museum. If you’re not around for New Years, you can still see what all the fuss is about.
Independence National Historical Park
The home of Independence Hall where the Declaration of Independence was signed and the Liberty Bell. So much history, so little time. Do your civic duty and check out how we became a country. And hands off the Liberty Bell.
