For over 35 years, the African American Museum in Philadelphia has been honoring the history, art and culture of African Americans. This museum is particularly notable as the first of its kind to be funded and built by a municipality. Explore the four galleries and auditorium to learn more about the AAMP’s three main themes: The African Diaspora, the Philadelphia Story and the Contemporary Narrative.
Catch your favorite musical performances at the Theatre of the Living Arts. This popular music and entertainment venue once served as a single-screen movie theater, a repertory theater and an art film/grind house. Nowadays you can get up close and personal with some of your favorite local and national bands or enjoy a throwback to its movie days with special screenings.
As you walk through Independence Mall, be sure to pop into the National Constitution Center to learn more about the birth of America. As the Birthplace of America, it is fitting that the nation’s first and only nonpartisan institution devoted to the Constitution is located in Philadelphia. The whole family can enjoy the time spent touring the attractions, multimedia exhibitions and watching live performances.
