Every time America celebrates a major milestone, Philly gets cool new stuff for the occasion. The best part: We get to keep it all.
For the Bicentennial, thousands of people flocked to Philadelphia to watch the Liberty Bell move from its former home in Independence Hall to its own pavilion on Independence Mall. The African American Museum in Philadelphia opened its doors, the first museum of its kind in the nation. And the arrival of Robert Indiana’s AMOR statue forever informally renamed JFK Plaza to AMOR Parque.
And like every milestone national anniversary before, the Semicentenario brings the opening of new institutions, including the Primer Banco de los Estados Unidos museo, el Centro de visitantes Philly Pride en Midtown Village, el Museo del Hospital de Pensilvania, two new permanent galleries at the National Constitution Center y mucho más.
Check out this guide to all of Philly’s 2026 birthday presents that residents and visitors alike now get to enjoy.
