What you'll do
The Museum of the American Revolution immerses you in the history of Philadelphia and is the perfect way to get an introduction to the city's many historic sites.
The American Revolution was dramatic, gritty, and full of uncertainty- an era of unparalleled political and social upheaval, even by today’s standards. Museum visitors are invited to explore this rich and complicated era and its connections to our world today. Through its unmatched collection of Revolutionary-era weapons, personal items, documents, and works of art, the Museum considers the complexities of our nation’s history and uplifts stories that have gone untold.
All of the Museum of the American Revolution exhibits are organized in chronological order, so you'll be taken from early signs of conflict in Boston in the 1760s to the War of Independence, and beyond. Browse hundreds of artifacts and pieces of art including sculptures, maps, uniforms, and weapons used during the Revolutionary War. Explore recreated historical scenes that bring to life the events that created a new nation against incredible odds.
