Important information for your upcoming group visit:
Wondrous Space is NOW OPEN! This is the first of six new core exhibits planned to be introduced at The Franklin Institute over the next few years.
Future exhibits will explore topics like The Human Body, Earth Systems and Robotics. To execute this major change of the museum’s core exhibits, we will need to close some of our existing galleries for construction. Currently: The Train Factory is CLOSED.
The Giant Heart and Electricity exhibits closed in May 2024 to make way for the new Human Body exhibit due to open in November 2024 (by the way, The Giant Heart stays! It’s just getting new neighbors).
