Visit the American Philosophical Society Museum on the second Saturday of the month this summer for free, hands-on activities geared towards families!

When was the last time you stopped to look at the stars?

Have the answer to that question be June 9th! Join us for an afternoon of exploring the night sky and making constellation cards. These are fun crafts that project an image of a major star constellation onto any flat surface! All you need is a card and a flashlight, even a cell phone will do. Make old favorites like the Big Dipper or discover something new.


Every second Saturday of the month, June through September, the APS Museum will have free educational activities for families, individuals, and all visitors to enjoy.
