Free Art Museums in Philadelphia
The Independence Day holiday in Philadelphia gives rise to more than just barbecues and fireworks.
In celebration of July 4th, four museums in Philadelphia will offer free admission as part of the citywide festivities to celebrate America’s birthday.
Every day from June 29 through July 2, a different museum will offer free admission to guests.
The fun starts with free admission (thanks to Wawa Welcome America) to The Franklin Institute, which will swing open its doors at no cost at all on Monday, June 29. The promotion includes access to all of the museum’s regular exhibitions and access to the Fels Planetarium. Note that the free admission does not include admission to The Art of The Brick and Genghis Khan.
On Tuesday, June 30, the Philadelphia History Museum will offer free admission for the holiday celebration. The free access to museums will continue on Wednesday, July 1 with free admission to the African American Museum in Philadelphia and will also continue on Thursday, July 2 with free admission to the National Constitution Center. Note that the Constitution Center will also offer free admission on Saturday, July 4.
• Monday, June 29: The Franklin Institute
• Tuesday, June 30: Philadelphia History Museum
• Wednesday, July 1: African American Museum in Philadelphia
• Thursday, July 2 and Saturday, July 4: National Constitution Center
To accompany the free admission, Wawa Welcome America is also presenting a series of family-friendly educational events — Go 4th & Learn — at the participating museums, with the exception of the African American Museum. On the day of AAMP’s free admission, the event will take place at Smith Memorial Playground and will focus on fitness.
The Go 4th & Learn events will be appropriately themed, depending on the museum — think science for The Franklin Institute — and will consist of book readings, giveaways and more.
Head out for free museum admission, Philly!
How To Get Free Admission: Just show up to the participating museums on the specified day and enjoy the free admission!
