Looking for a meaningful way to spend Martin Luther King Jr. Day with your family? The African American Museum in Philadelphia (AAMP) is offering free admission on Monday, January 19th, courtesy of Citizens Bank!

Families can explore the award-winning Ruth E. Carter: Afrofuturism in Costume Design exhibition, listen in on gallery talks, take part in hands-on art activities, and even meet the Philly Phanatic!
This museum is one I recommend to every Philly family - it’s educational, inspiring, and a great way to honor Dr. King’s legacy while engaging with your children.
Tickets are free but must be reserved online in advance for timed entry.
Comments will be approved before showing up.
