The Museum of the American Revolution is a private, non-profit institution based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, dedicated to exploring the diverse people and events that shaped the American fight for liberty, equality, and self-government. Through its collection, immersive galleries, theater experiences, and interactive elements, the museum presents historical narratives intended to deepen understanding of how the United States came to be and to provoke reflection on individual roles in upholding the promise of the Revolution. Located near Independence Hall, the museum also serves as a gateway to regional Revolutionary sites, providing context and encouraging further exploration. The organization opened its doors in 2017 and operates within the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector, highlighting educational and civic-focused programming for visitors.

 The museum engages a broad audience interested in American history and civics education, including programs and partnerships that expand its reach. Recent collaborations, including partnerships with organizations such as ACTA and others, reflect efforts to revitalize history and civics education and to produce immersive experiences related to the Revolution and its key themes. The institution is based in Philadelphia and maintains a regional focus on Revolutionary-era stories, with ongoing efforts to interpret the lives of people of African ancestry and other underrepresented groups within that period.
