I thoroughly enjoyed this museum. I found the history portrayed in such a creative way that although I know quite a bit of history of this era, I was captivated by the way the curators brought the history alive with both the artifacts and the way in which the story of the American Revolution is portrayed. Don't bother with the cafe as it provides minimal food and beverages. That's too bad, as it could have been quite a creative way to continue the history as well as a good way for the museum to raise funds.

I had a very good time at the museum. Having learned about the war back in school, I learned a lot of new things and relearned things I had forgotten. They had a lot of nice displays and artifacts. I did not have time for the video, but spend a couple of hours here.

This is a small museum with a huge impact. It is well planned and is a nice blend of interactive exhibits, reading and films. There were several well-behaved school groups visiting while I was there. The docents were very good at keeping the children engaged and interested in learning about history.

This is a must go to museum when in Philadelphia. The exhibits were excellent and the layout worked very well. The actor's presentation at George Washington's tent was a very good performance. I have recommended this museum to friends and they felt the same way.

This museum is a block or two further than the usual sights but I spent three and a half hours there. Even though we learn about this in school, there is much more to know. Did you know: the war lasted until 1783? George Washington was fighting for8 years? Benjamin Lincoln and Alexander Hamilton had key roles at Yorktown? That the Netherlands and Spain had declared war on England? The museum is chronologically laid out and you just follow the winding path through the multitude of exhibits. There are short videos in the theaters and a sound and light show about the Battle of Brandywine. There are stories about all of the many battles that the colonists lost. You come to realize how desperate it all was. Okay, you can see it all in less time than me but I enjoyed every minute that I was there.

A great museum to understand the full story of the American Revolution! We took the 1 hour "Core Exhibit" tour first with Lilly who was a very good guide at giving us an overview of the museum & the history of the revolution while answering all our questions. We then spent another 2 hours going back through the exhibits & watching the films. The information is well curated & presented. We especially appreciated the very important information about the Native American & Enslaved Persons who were used as pawns in this war grounded in economics.

This museum is amazing they have staff who can explain to you. Everything about the exhibits of the history of our nation. The building is beautiful as well. I asked one of the staff how he knew so much about history and found out that he actually had a PhD in history. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I would say do not miss this museum if you’re going to visit Philadelphia.

Looking back, I wish I had paid more attention in history as a kid...but here I am, in my 50s and now I care. Found this gem and went towards the end of the day. Wish I had come a little earlier since I was alone and could leisurely read all the signs...it takes closer to 2.5-3 hours, but I got through in 2 by skimming towards the end since they were coming up on closing. Really interesting displays with audio and written accounts, artifacts and dioramas. Learned a lot and enjoyed the presentation. Seems very new, well put together. Because there is a lot of reading, ideally you hit it when there isn't a ton of people there you have to jockey around.

The Museum of the American Revolution is dedicated to telling the story of the American Revolution. The museum was opened in 2017 and is located at 101 South Third Street. The museum has a collection of several thousand objects including artwork and sculpture, textiles and weapons, manuscripts, and rare books all continuing relevance of the American Revolution. The museum is open on two levels to the public, the first floor includes a museum shop and café which opens onto the street. The first floor interior is around a skylit interior court and features a ticketing lobby, theatre and exhibition gallery. The second floor features galleries and a theatre. If interested in history then this is definitely worth a visit.

Fantastic museum that makes history come alive! Films, multi media presentations, authentic artifacts, and the use of most of your senses. Yes the viewer can smell to imagine what Boston Harbor smelled like after the Boston Tea Party. A portrait of King George in 3D that the visitor can touch. A short orientation film on the main floor reveals the biggest treasure here is George Washington's tent he used as a headquarters during battles. To preserve this precious artifact, it is shown in hourly presentations. Don't miss this!
