Celebrating its second anniversary in 2005, the National Constitution Center has quickly become one of the region's most popular attractions. The National Constitution Center's location, near the Independence Visitor Center, Independence Hall and the new Liberty Bell Center, is a keen reminder of the important role that Philadelphia played in the birth and early development of the United States and our system of government.
The NCC is open every day (except Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day) from 9:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Sunday - Friday and 9:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. on Saturday.
The tour begins with a multimedia presentation featuring a live actor, film and video projection in the Kimmel Theater. Here you will be oriented to the major themes of the Constitution from 1787 to the present day. In the DeVos Hall's American Experience, you will enjoy interactive family-oriented exhibits that show the significant role the Constitution has played throughout history.
The NCC also features a series of ongoing exhibits in its changing exhibition space that is currently hosting an exhibit entitled Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War through November 4, 2005.
