National Liberty Museum — Attraction in Philadelphia

Visited here on a rainy Sunday and could not have been more impressed. Funny though that a number of people who left reviews here, gave a 1 star review complaining that this place ‘is not a museum’, and that it has nothing to do with the liberty-related history of the neighborhood and Philadelphia. Some also even said the name of the Museum was misleading. I am not sure what to say about their opinions here, but I certainly think they are misplaced. To be clear, this is not a history museum, but it is still an amazing place. Matter of fact, the world would be a better place if every single person went here to see the Truth* exhibit, because if there is any place in the world where someone can see what is truly “truthful”, it is on the walls of this museum, in the Truth* exhibit.

Also, the museum founder Irv seemed like an amazing soul, and he lives on in this space. The building is awesome and the staff is welcoming and they are 10 stars out of 5. I would think Irv would be super happy with the way his museum seems to be cared for now. A totally amazing place....

Inspiring. A wonderful stop.

The museum is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. It’s one of the few places that has a youth ticket for up to 17 years of age making it an affordable stop compared to many of the other sights. It’s a wonderful place for a teen to learn about Liberty and the many heroes in the world.

Easy to find- right across the Independence Hall area and near the Museum of American Revolution and Benjamin Franklin Museum. Museum is 4 floors and has interactive exhibits. The exhibits are very well done and there is a lot of information to absorb. The art is awe inspiring. The stories are very inspiring. It’s an excellent endeavor. The story of the founder: Dr. Borowsky is very inspiring too. All in all a great stop- well worth it.

You can ask a staff member to ring the bell for you - definitely very cool. There is an art exhibit called La Brega on display: very, very good!

Definitely stop by. :) So much to learn in an easy to...

Super small museum at most 30 min. The glass work is very cool, and so are the art exhibits. Most of the people the highlight were very interesting, inspiring and and informative. However, one of the first people they highlight right as you walk in a room is Winston Churchill. For a museum dedicated to liberty and who showcases people who rightly and actively sought to upend Churchill's legacy this is a problem. They conveniently leave out the facts that Churchill is personally responsible for the first use of poison gas on civilians, the continuation of the British Empire and the disastrous efforts to decolonize. This man maintained slavery and imperialism and is the first person they highlight in a museum dedicated to LIBERTY, and they know that Churchill's legacy is terrible because they go one to highlight people who fought directly against this legacy. Overall, probably not worth your time considering the other museums...
