Upcoming National Liberty Museum Events to Look Out For

Summer is here, and with it comes a slew of good times at the National Liberty Museum. Over the next month, we have a lineup of events for every visitor to enjoy. Beyond our boundary-pushing exhibitions, our museum events are a great way to expand your horizons, meet new people, and participate in truly meaningful dialogue. Here’s an overview of what to expect from NLM in the coming weeks. 

Second Sunday 

Every Second Sunday, the National Liberty Museum opens its doors with pay-what-you-wish admission. It’s your monthly opportunity to explore our dynamic galleries and experience the transformative power of liberty at a price that suits your budget. By participating in Second Sundays, not only do you get a chance to engage with thought-provoking exhibitions, but your contributions also help to support the museum’s mission to connect, educate, and inspire people to explore and advance the complex practice of liberty. Whether you’re a regular repeat visitor or exploring the National Liberty Museum for the first time, Second Sundays provide a welcoming atmosphere for everyone. Mark your calendars and bring your family and friends!  

Third Thursday 

Looking for a memorable night out in Philly? Don’t miss Third Thursdays at the National Liberty Museum!  This month’s Third Thursday promises a night of laughter with its comedy theme. Perfect for a laid-back evening, come enjoy cocktails, lite bites, and a curated lineup of comedians in a lively, adults-only setting. It’s the perfect opportunity to connect with friends, mingle with fellow art enthusiasts, and explore the museum’s galleries after hours.  The NLM hosts these museum events every month with new entertainment, themes, drinks, and more. Be sure to come every time for a whole new experience! 

Can You Say That? 

Join us for the latest installment of our Free Speech Speaker Series by attending “Can You Say That? Cancel Culture, Free Speech, and the Future of Public Debate.”  This engaging panel discussion will feature comedian and actor Dov Davidoff, author Ernest Owens, and Rikki Schlott, co-author of The Canceling of the American Mind. The conversation will be moderated by Nick Gillespie, editor at large at Reason magazine. From classrooms to comedy clubs, no stone will be left unturned in examining the delicate balance between accountability and censorship. Whether you’re an advocate for free speech or curious about the nuances of cancel culture, “Can You Say That?” promises a night of insightful dialogue. We’re always hosting new panels with thought leaders on a variety of topics here, so make sure to stay up to date with our museum events calendar.
