Great museum . Huge variety of all the history that has been and continues to affect and change Pennsylvania. Great exhibits and love the way of seeing it all in circular pattern layout.
Absolutely fascinating museum , tons of information, loaded with history, and has an excellent planetarium . Your group can bring and eat lunch in the common area by the statue .
