They do such a wonderful job with this exhibit, starting with the big screen slide show to the interactive exhibits, and the themes carried throughout the exhibit. You will even see the actual scrolls in a wonderful round exhibit. Must See if in Philadelphia More

The Franklin Institute is a very hands on museum. While interesting for an adult, it is best suited for kids. The exhibits are designed and worded for children. We, two adults, went during a weekday and had to contend with groups of kids over-running each area. It was very difficult to view some exhibits due to the kids. More
