Philadelphia - Atwater Kent Museum

Philadelphia's history museum was founded in 1938 by radio pioneer A. Atwater Kent. The museum was originally the home of the Franklin Institute and now incorporates the recently closed Norman Rockwell Museum. It is a hands-on museum geared toward children with historical objects. Hats, model electric cars, old children's costumes and other artifacts are on display.

Visitors can also see the worlds largest map of Philadelphia. The Experience Philadelphia! gallery features a 40-by-40-foot Rand McNally map of the region covering the

floor.
