Philly Free Streets Map

Enjoy FREE museum admission all day on Saturday, August 11th, as part of this year's Philly Free Streets celebration.

Come and experience our current exhibitions, Infinite Spaces, and SWARM.—or explore our permanent collection.

Visitors can also participate in chalk drawing activities on Lenfest Plaza, make wearable butterfly art, and live horse drawing with Godzilla, not to mention browse the Museum Store's pop-up shop.

Philly Free Streets is a people-powered initiative of the City of Philadelphia. Philly Free Streets temporarily closes streets to cars, inviting people to walk, bike, and play. Philly Free Streets is managed by the City of Philadelphia's Managing Director's Office of Transportation & Infrastructure Systems.

 

We're so excited you're planning to visit PAFA!
