Reviews of Museum of the American Revolution

This is the best American Revolution museum I’ve ever been to because if it’s mix of things to read, listen too, watch, look at and interact with. The layout of the building is perfect because there is a grand entrance with a beautiful staircase and then you enter a room. You loose track of where you are in the walls of the museum because the exhibits is a big timeline and every major event has its own room. I could spend days in this museum with its mix of modern and old ways of learning and presentation. Genuine artifacts and paints such as Washington’s tent, and great performances and documentaries. To sum it up I absolutely love this museum and it is perfect to visit directly after Independence Hall so that you can learn about the events that took place where you previously were!

The experience was wonderful, and my son and I now have a family membership! The Cross Keys Cafe didn't have period-inspired food as stated, but the lunch was satisfactory regardless and the cashier was very polite. The Museum itself was so inspiring and was full of artifacts and antiques, with a lot of deep information. The artwork was breath-taking. Unfortunately I was late for something else so we had to stop just shy of seeing Washington's War Tent, but we'll be back soon for that! Definitely no time wasted here, it's something you would need multiple trips to fully enjoy, and it really is worth it.

Great museum! The main exhibition hall tells the story arc of the revolution, with short movies interspersed throughout. There are some items for kids to touch and some interactive display panels, but it is mostly displays (pictures, artifacts, and text). The whole thing is framed to show that while the revolutionary war ended, the 'American Revolution' continues today as we collectively grapple with what the role of government should be and what it means that "all men are created equal". The displays are very nice and highlight the history we know well, and also many individual stories and perspectives not as well known (including women, African Americans, and Native Americans). We also had lunch at the Cafe, and the food was good and the prices reasonable (better/cheaper than most museum cafes we been to).

Very nice museum, lots of good historical items inside and a range of things for young and old to learn. The day I went there was a Native American song and dance going on right at the entrance and they were very nice. This facility has many other events that go on throughout the year I was told and all the staff were friendly and knowledgable. I would recommend this museum if you have an hour or two in the city.

I went to 10, yes 10, museums in Philadelphia over MLK Day Weekend 2022. This was by far my favorite! This Museum was recently built, and is beautiful both inside and out. The exhibits are well made, interesting, and Interactive. They have a collection of artifacts that you can't see anywhere else. My only regret is not spending more time there. The sights were cool, but staff are the real gems. You can ask almost anyone about the artifacts or displays and they will be able o give you more information. The shining star was Kaitlin, who shared background on her favorite pieces in the downstairs gallery. I'm not really even a history person, but her passion for the artwork was contagious. Thanks for an amazing explanation, girl! 👍🏾

The variety of things including videos, sounds, paintings, puzzles, and more and how they tried to represent a ‘real feel’ and its interactive nature was extremely impressive. It’s a great and informative place to visit and my interactions with the staff was wonderful. They are well versed in the history, were ready to answer any questions and were super helpful.

This is an amazing museum! You must see the video in the main room detailing the history of George Washington's tent in the war against England where they show you the actual tent at the end of the show! It was quite moving. I highly recommend it 👌 👍 …

Very good museum with a lot of care, and work placed into it's presentations, displays, and artifacts. The museum goes into great depth to discuss the war itself, the role of the founders, but also the roles of Women, African-Americans, Native Americans, and the British, Loyalist, and French. Giving fair perspectives from all. I especially liked the exhibit at the end which features actual, real-life photographs of the veterans and their stories. A must visit museum in Philly!

This is a really well-done museum with an easy-to-follow chronological path to follow. There are several theatrical elements, including animations to watch or stories played out on repeat. In fact, you can start your tour with a 15 minute movie downstairs, and there's an actual theater upstairs with the museum's prize item, Washington's camp tent from the revolutionary war. There's a whole theatrical presentation to that and a big reveal, it's fun. There's also a big gift shop and a cafe, it's well worth a visit!

Wonderful exhibit. So many artifacts, portraits, arms, books and relics pertaining to the Revolution. Getting to see General George Washington actual war tent was definitely a hilite. All of the short films throughout the exhibit as well as the films in the two theaters were fantastic
