"The Declaration's Journey" Special Exhibition Opening

"The Declaration’s Journey," a special exhibition running from Oct. 18, 2025, through Jan. 3, 2027, will be a cornerstone of Philadelphia’s cultural offerings for 2026 and will bring more than 120 artifacts from 50 private and institutional lenders together for visitors to experience and understand the Declaration’s ongoing relevance and impact on the world. Several artifacts will be on display to the public for the first time or are returning to the United States for the first time since the Revolutionary era. The nearly 20 nations whose stories will be represented are just a selection of the more than 100 that have integrated the Declaration’s ideals in their own movements, proving it to be one of the most influential political documents in modern history.
