The National Constitution Center is an interactive museum and a national town hall for constitutional dialogue, hosting government leaders, journalists, scholars, and celebrities for public discussions.
The nonpartisan institution is located on Independence Mall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and offers resources onsite and online.
The center opened in 2003, joining other closeby historic sites and attractions such as Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell.
