OLD CITY
The National Liberty Museum works to defuse violence
and bigotry by celebrating America's heritage of freedom and tolerance.
Using the stories of more than 1000 heroes of liberty and democracy
worldwide, our galleries seek to inspire visitors on an individual
level. A resource for more than 2,000 children every month, the
Museum's Education Department features interactive diversity and
conflict-resolution training.
Includes over 100 original paintings, bronzes, and
glass sculptures to represent the fragile nature of liberty. The
National Liberty Museum is the first institution in the world to
correlate freedom with glass for the purpose of protecting our
society from violence.
Approximately 30,000 square feet of exhibit space. Contains eight
galleries, including a meeting hall, gift shop and education center/resource
room.
