American Philosophical Society Museum

Explore the exhibitions at the American Philosophical Society Museum, and discover treasures from its collections, with a new exhibition opening every April and running through December.

Here, you might see an herbarium specimen collected by Lewis and Clark; a miniature portrait of Benjamin Franklin; or a drawing for the world’s first computer; and encounter scientific specimens; art works; or rare books from Europe and beyond. 

Find the rare and the curious; make creative connections between art and science; or simply brush up on your history.
