French Night at the Museum - April 19th

Join fellow Francophiles and myself on April 19th, for a festive happy hour soirée hosted by Museum Associate Curator of Exhibition Content and Research James Taub, who will connect French history to the American Revolution in a special interactive presentation at 6 p.m. in the Museum’s Cross Keys Café. While exploring stories from the Champs-Élysées to Chestnut Street, Bordeaux to Brandywine, Lafayette to L’Enfant, and more, enjoy a special “French 1775” cocktail at a cash bar and exclusive evening access to the Museum’s special exhibit Witness to Revolution: The Unlikely Travels of Washington’s Tent.

The Alliance Française de Philadelphie and many French and francophone orrganizations will also join the Museum to highlight the ongoing diplomatic relationship between France and Philadelphia with activities in the Museum’s first-floor rotunda prior to a viewing of Washington’s War Tent at 7 p.m. in the Museum’s Alan B. Miller Theater.
