NLM Celebrates: Wawa Welcome America Free Museum Day

Kick off Independence Week with our Free Museum Day as part of the city-wide Wawa Welcome America Festival. Wawa Welcome America is Philadelphia’s premier July 4th festival, the largest July 4th celebration in America, and one of the largest free festivals in the country. 

Complete your journey through Historic Philadelphia with a visit to the National Liberty Museum and experience the power of liberty today! Join us for activities marking the Independence Day season and delve into the rich complexity of the American story through our newest exhibition, In Pursuit: Artists’ Perspective on a Nation. Ongoing activities include a community art-making experience inspired by artwork in the exhibition, interactive button making and a photo booth at our Creation Station, and the opportunity to ring our replica Liberty Bell. 

Community Art-Making Experience: Connect with fellow museum visitors and contribute to our ongoing community art project. Reflect on the perspectives and themes of the exhibition, contribute your own hopes, desires, and demands for your community, and celebrate the power of art to unite and inspire. 

Creation Station: Use your artistic inspiration and take home your own piece of the Museum. Design and create custom buttons inspired by the art on display or your own unique vision. Strike a pose and capture the memories with friends and family in our themed photo booth. 

Let Freedom Ring: Make a donation in support of the Museum for the opportunity to let freedom ring by sounding our replica of the famous Liberty Bell.
