Benjamin Franklin: In Search of a Better World, organized by the Benjamin Franklin Tercentenary, is a blockbuster exhibition created to celebrate the 300th anniversary of Philadelphia’s favorite founding father.
Making its world premiere and only East Coast showing at the National Constitution Center from December 15, 2005 – April 30, 2006, this must-see exhibition will immerse visitors in Franklin’s world, expose them to his ingenious problem-solving methods and leave them inspired by his example. Franklin’s own words narrate the 8,000 square-foot exhibition, which was designed in the spirit of his curiosity, wit and wisdom.
Exhibit highlights include:
- Original copies of five of America’s founding documents, including the Declaration of Independence and Franklin’s own copy of the Constitution
- More than 250 priceless original artifacts, including many owned by Franklin’s family and never before displayed in public
- More than 40 interactive devices, featuring special effects, hands-on opportunities and family-centered fun
- 25-foot model ship that visitors can climb aboard to recreate Franklin’s method of charting the Gulf Stream
The National Constitution Center will also feature an array of Franklin-themed programs, including a discussion with a group of Franklin biographers in January 2006, which will include Walter Isaacson and Gordon Wood, and other discussions about Franklin’s diplomacy and his iconic autobiography. There will also be special Franklin Family Fun Days one Saturday each month, as well as other special events and activities for visitors during the exhibition.
