National Constitution Center

The National Constitution Center in Historic Philadelphia is America's most interactive history museum.

Located just two blocks from the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, it is the only museum devoted to the U.S. Constitution and the story of We, the People.

The Story of We the People

The Center's core exhibition, The Story of We the People, tells the story of the Constitution, its history, and its contemporary relevance through more than 100 multimedia exhibits, film, photographs, text, sculpture, and artifacts.

It also features a powerful, award-winning theatrical performance, Freedom Rising, and Signers' Hall.

Freedom Rising

Freedom Rising is a multimedia production designed to connect the audience in a direct, engaging and unforgettable way—to the story of the U.S. Constitution.

The production vividly displays the recurring themes of our nation’s history and demonstrates to the audience how they are the driving force behind this document and its future.

Oath of Office

The National Constitution Center’s interactive Oath of Office exhibit is one of the museum’s most popular. Standing behind a podium complete with the presidential seal, visitors can recite the Presidential Oath while their image is projected on a screen above.

As an added bonus, a photograph is also taken during the “ceremony,” and is available for purchase at the museum store.

Sign the Constitution

Sign an 8-by-6-foot copy of the Constitution in the Center’s main lobby throughout the day.

Signers' Hall

Signers' Hall contains 42 life-size statues of the founding fathers who were present on the day the Constitution was signed.

Supreme Court Bench

Sit at a replica Supreme Court bench and decide on important constitutional cases.
