Located steps from the Liberty Bell on Philadelphia’s historic Independence Mall, The Weitzman is the only museum in the nation dedicated exclusively to exploring the American Jewish experience.
Through exhibitions, documents, art, and artifacts spanning nearly four centuries, we share vibrant, layered stories that show how Jewish life is deeply woven into America’s fabric. From child-height displays and a sleepaway camp gallery to a family holiday table and a covered wagon, The Weitzman is designed with families in mind. All ages can engage in #OurSharedHeritage.
The Weitzman is a welcoming space for connection, discovery, and interaction among visitors of all backgrounds. Walk-ins, strollers, and wheelchairs are always welcome.
