Why you should go…
Steps from Independence Hall, this museum brings the U.S. Constitution to life rather than putting it under glass. The visit opens with Freedom Rising, a live theatrical performance in a 360-degree theater, then spills into interactive galleries where you can take the presidential oath or weigh in on landmark Supreme Court cases. In Signers' Hall, walk among 42 life-size bronze statues of the Constitution's framers. Rotating exhibitions and a rare first-edition Bill of Rights round out one of Old City's essential stops.
