A great museum to understand the full story of the American Revolution! We took the 1 hour "Core Exhibit" tour first with Lilly who was a very good guide at giving us an overview of the museum & the history of the revolution while answering all our questions. We then spent another 2 hours going back through the exhibits & watching the films. The information is well curated & presented. We especially appreciated the very important information about the Native American & Enslaved Persons who were used as pawns in this war grounded in economics.

This museum is amazing they have staff who can explain to you. Everything about the exhibits of the history of our nation. The building is beautiful as well. I asked one of the staff how he knew so much about history and found out that he actually had a PhD in history. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I would say do not miss this museum if you’re going to visit Philadelphia.

Looking back, I wish I had paid more attention in history as a kid...but here I am, in my 50s and now I care. Found this gem and went towards the end of the day. Wish I had come a little earlier since I was alone and could leisurely read all the signs...it takes closer to 2.5-3 hours, but I got through in 2 by skimming towards the end since they were coming up on closing. Really interesting displays with audio and written accounts, artifacts and dioramas. Learned a lot and enjoyed the presentation. Seems very new, well put together. Because there is a lot of reading, ideally you hit it when there isn't a ton of people there you have to jockey around.

The Museum of the American Revolution is dedicated to telling the story of the American Revolution. The museum was opened in 2017 and is located at 101 South Third Street. The museum has a collection of several thousand objects including artwork and sculpture, textiles and weapons, manuscripts, and rare books all continuing relevance of the American Revolution. The museum is open on two levels to the public, the first floor includes a museum shop and café which opens onto the street. The first floor interior is around a skylit interior court and features a ticketing lobby, theatre and exhibition gallery. The second floor features galleries and a theatre. If interested in history then this is definitely worth a visit.

Fantastic museum that makes history come alive! Films, multi media presentations, authentic artifacts, and the use of most of your senses. Yes the viewer can smell to imagine what Boston Harbor smelled like after the Boston Tea Party. A portrait of King George in 3D that the visitor can touch. A short orientation film on the main floor reveals the biggest treasure here is George Washington's tent he used as a headquarters during battles. To preserve this precious artifact, it is shown in hourly presentations. Don't miss this!

The museum is really well done. Traveled with myself and two friends who are all trained historians, we all felt it was visually appealing, informative, and honest. Displays are a bit busy at times and a lot to read, but the information is good, the exhibits are well thought out, and a narrative was created. We enjoyed it and would recommend for anyone visiting Philadelphia!

Came to the museum for a grad school alumni event. The staff were friendly and guided us through the museum to the event space and then allowed us to view one of the many exhibits. Can't wait to return with my son in the near future.

The Museum of the American Revolution is filled with history, relics, artwork, exhibits and displays about the Revolutionary war and what led up to it. We went there with a US History Tour Group, and our time there was somewhat limited, but I could have spent all day there. We started out with seeing a movie about George Washington’s Tent, telling how it had gone with him thru the whole conflict as he moved about with his soldiers. Then we were free to go thru the many informative and interesting exhibits for the different phases of the war. There was also a café and a gift shop at the Museum. We enjoyed our time there.

I live in the Philly Suburbs and my wife and I had free passes to this museum (thank you North Wales Library). Normal price for adults is $25.00 and seniors was less then $20. This museum has opened within the last 10-15 years, so its new to me. It is very well done and all the interactives actually function. Hand sanitizer is featured throughout. This museum depicts American History as it was established by the Europeans who fled England and King George the 3rd back in the 1600's. Very well done with life like figures. But the big attraction was General George Washingtons actual tent that he used while he was involved with his troops as they fought for freedom. We had a self guided tour and walked at our leasure. It was laid out very well and you basiclly had to follow the arrows in each room.
