Visitor Code of Conduct

The National Constitution Center (NCC) brings together people of all ages and perspectives to learn about, debate, and celebrate the greatest vision of human freedom in history, the U.S. Constitution. The NCC is a place for everyone to engage in civil dialogue, share diverse viewpoints, and learn about their place in the story of “We the People.” Creating a welcoming environment is a shared responsibility of the NCC community. We expect every person in our museum to treat each other with respect and to help maintain a safe environment. The NCC prohibits harassment or discrimination of any kind. We strive to provide a fun, fulfilling, positive learning experience for all.
