💥Join us for the explosive opening of Flash! Bang! Boom! A History of Fireworks.💥🎇 About Flash! Bang! Boom!
From the way they are made, designed, and tested, to how they are sold and ultimately launched into the sky, this unique exhibition is our contribution to America’s nationwide celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Visitors will navigate through the cross-cultural history of fireworks and discover details they don’t usually get to see, from rare books that share early designs and origin stories, to the inside of a firework and the colorful chemistry of a festive display.
On display in our museum, located just blocks from Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell in Old City Philadelphia, Flash! Bang! Boom! A History of Fireworks will have high visibility and be a unique contribution to our nation’s celebrations.
This event is FREE, but registration is required.
