Museum of the Philadelphian
Museum of the Philadelphian is a free pop-up museum at 454 E Girard Avenue that documents the city's distinctive mindset — the objects we've thrown, the players we've booed, the car we flipped, and the money we raised afterward to replace it. The Museum also catalogs the constitutional qualities Philadelphians share that make us some of the best people around.
Open Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from September 25 through November 1, 2026, at 454 E Girard Avenue in Fishtown. Admission is free with timed entry. Reserve a slot at visitmotp.com.

UnRavelled is a powerful synthesis of theatre, music, science and visual art. An East Coast premiere, this “revolutionary theatrical production” (Metro Silicon Valley) explores the complexities of the human mind through the parallel lives of scientist-turned-painter Anne Adams and composer Maurice Ravel, both affected by frontotemporal dementia. With a cast of 10 actors and musicians, the play follows Adams, a gifted biologist whose life unravels as she abandons her career, consumed by the desire to paint and an obsession with Ravel’s iconic Boléro. As Adams’ cognitive decline accelerates, her art flourishes, revealing a surprising link between neurological disease and creativity. “An exquisite example of epic theatre” (Colorado Boulevard), UnRavelled sheds new light on dementia with empathy and awe.

Join us for an illuminating conversation between curators from two of America's most distinguished art institutions as part of PAFA's landmark exhibition A Nation of Artists. Dr. Lea Stephenson, Kenneth R. Woodcock Curator of Historical American Art at PAFA, and Kerry Bickford, Associate Curator at the Brandywine Museum of Art, explore how American artists have depicted landscapes—from the Hudson River School's sublime vistas to the Brandywine tradition's intimate terrain, and contemporary artists reimagining these spaces today.
This dialogue examines how landscape painting has shaped American cultural identity across centuries, reflecting changing relationships with the land, environment, and national mythology. Drawing on the rich collections of both institutions, our speakers will trace connections between historical masters and today's artists who continue to challenge and expand how we see the American landscape.

One After Another: Series and Studies investigates the role of seriality in artistic practice across more than two centuries of American art. Drawn entirely from PAFA’s permanent collection, this exhibition brings together sketchbooks, preparatory studies, serial prints, and suites of drawings to reveal how artists develop ideas over time.
Whether used for training, observation, material experimentation, or formal investigation, repetition emerges as a fundamental creative strategy. By presenting works in series rather than as isolated objects, the exhibition invites visitors into the often hidden processes through which artists revise and transform their ideas.

Join us for a fascinating talk on Thomas Willing, the merchant-banker who financed the Revolution and shaped America’s financial system.
On July 1, 1776, Thomas Willing voted against the Declaration of Independence, believing the colonies weren't ready. Yet once the war began, he and his partner Robert Morris put their personal credit and merchant fleet on the line to supply the army with food, arms, and gunpowder.
Willing went on to build the nation’s financial architecture from scratch. As President of both the Bank of North America and the First Bank of the United States, he personally oversaw more than a third of all bank loans made in the entire nation during his career.
Join us for an engaging presentation on Richard Vague's book, The Banker Who Made America, as we explore how a forgotten Philadelphia merchant built America's first financial aristocracy and shaped modern American capitalism.

Join Theatre Ariel and Philadelphia Artists Collective for a re-imagining of the play President Theodore Roosevelt considered one of his favorites. In 1908 Zangwiil's play codified the idea of America as a "melting pot" into our consciousness and made an argument for the strength of America lying in the people who believed in its ideals. The message rings as powerfully today as it did then, and its meaning is perhaps even more resonant. Presented as part of AMERICA 250.

If ever there was music meant to mimic the rush of blood through the veins of youth, this is it: Lusty love songs, drinking anthems, pagan celebrations, and odes to the moon, mined from medieval texts, have made this choral thriller a favorite since its creation nearly a century ago. This headlong rush to passion is the climax of a trio of thrilling works, from Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s wild orchestral ride to Gabriela Ortiz’s beguiling imaginings of the love story between Clara and Robert Schumann.

To witness a live performance by alto saxophonist, MC, and bandleader Lakecia Benjamin is to never forget it.
The success of her most recent releases, 2023's Phoenix and 2020's Pursuance: The Coltranes, positioned Benjamin among jazz's most celebrated recording artists. In addition to absolute raves in outlets like The New York Times, The Guardian, and DownBeat, she received three GRAMMY nominations for Phoenix, as well as an NAACP Image Award nomination for Outstanding Jazz Album. Earlier this year she was named Alto Saxophonist of the Year by the prestigious Jazz Journalist Association.
The ever-rising star from Washington Heights remains, at her core, an improviser best experienced in her soul-stirring concerts. Each and every time she hits the bandstand, she takes her repertoire, and her wide-ranging audience, to sublime new planes. And her message—of spiritual uplift, of social and political liberation—soars higher still.

If ever there was music meant to mimic the rush of blood through the veins of youth, this is it: Lusty love songs, drinking anthems, pagan celebrations, and odes to the moon, mined from medieval texts, have made this choral thriller a favorite since its creation nearly a century ago. This headlong rush to passion is the climax of a trio of thrilling works, from Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s wild orchestral ride to Gabriela Ortiz’s beguiling imaginings of the love story between Clara and Robert Schumann.
