The African American Museum of Philadelphia is moving to the Parkway as part of a bigger revamp project.
The African American Museum in Philadelphia is moving to a new location right off the parkway. It's part of a bigger project to expand the Free Library and build a new luxury hotel.
For nearly fifty years, the African American Museum has been in the same building since it was founded. Now, they're ready for an expansion to make more space for exhibits, educational programs, and storage for artifacts. "We do believe that the traffic alone, being on the Ben Franklin Parkway, that real estate will give us more traffic, more visitors, more memberships," African American Museum board chair Sabrina Brooks said.Sign up for NBC Philadelphia newsletters.This new location will make it walkable from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Barnes Foundation, the Franklin Institute and others along Museum Row.
As the project works to revamp the block, the Family Court Building will be transformed into a 250-room upscale boutique hotel.
