Once a month, the Franklin caters to adults only with their popular Science After Hours events, that combine special themes like superheroes with booze throughout their extensive science collection. Also check out evening hours for their special exhibits.
Every Wednesday and Thursday until 8pm the Rosenbach of the Free Library of Philadelphia offers visitors a chance to view their exhibitions and take a guided tour of the historic Rosenbach house, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. The museum’s permanent collection includes important pieces such as the only surviving copy of Benjamin Franklin’s first Poor Richard Almanac, the manuscript of James Joyce’s Ulysses, the papers of poet Marianne Moore, and Bram Stoker’s notes for Dracula.
