GET THE WHOLE STORY WITH NATIONAL CONSTITUTION CENTER AND MUSEUM OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION DISCOUNTED JOINT TICKET
Journey from “We hold these truths” to “We the People”
Philadelphia, PA (April 6, 2022) — Two premier museums inspired by world-changing documents are now accessible with one convenient ticket. After a hiatus during the pandemic, Philadelphia’s Museum of the American Revolution and the National Constitution Center are teaming up again to offer visitors a joint ticket that includes admission to both institutions for a discounted price.
Located just blocks apart in Philadelphia’s most historic neighborhood—home to Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and more—the two museums tell the story of the American founding, from the early stirrings of rebellion and the signing of the Declaration of Independence to the creation of the U.S. Constitution, which established a system of government for the new nation.
The joint tickets are now available at amrevmuseum.org and constitutioncenter.org, or in person at both museums. The adult joint ticket is $29 (savings of $6.50), youth tickets are $19 (savings of $5), and family packs (2 adults and 2 kids) are $90 (savings of $29).
This spring and summer, visitors to the National Constitution Center can view a new 50-ton marble tablet, engraved with the 45 words of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The tablet spans a 100-foot-wide wall on the Center’s Grand Hall Overlook, the second-floor atrium overlooking historic Independence Mall. Additionally, upcoming special programming at the Center includes civic holiday celebrations in honor of Memorial Day, Flag Day, Juneteenth, and the Fourth of July; discounted and free admission days; and more. See a full list programming here.
At the Museum of the American Revolution, visitors will be immersed in the dramatic and research-based works of nationally renowned historical artist Don Troiani with the special exhibition Liberty: Don Troiani’s Paintings of the Revolutionary War, which is on view through Sept. 5. Throughout the Museum’s Revolutionary Summer of special events and activities, visitors can explore what the promises of liberty and equality mean for all people from Memorial Day through Flag Day, Juneteenth, July 4th, and beyond. More information is available here.
