MIT Tour of National Constitution Center
MIT Tour – Saturday, July 10, 2004 – 10 a.m.
at the National Constitution Center
525 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA
Celebrate our country's history and the document that outlines our freedoms with friends and family.
The New York Times roundly praises the New Independence Mall and its best new addition, the National Constitution Center, as a spirited history of the Constitution with its original documents, film clips and interactive gadgets dramatizing the still lively issues surrounding it. Nearby is the newly housed Liberty Bell and its history.
At the Center, enjoy “Freedom Rising” a state-of- the-art 360° multimedia presentation showing the major themes of the Constitution. (The interactive Constitution allows for in-depth exploration of sections of the historical document.) Walk among life-size statues of delegates present at the signing of the Constitution in 1787. Take pictures of your children talking to the
6' 4" George Washington or the 30-year-old Alexander Hamilton. See Governor Morris 6' 2" with a peg leg. Sit at a senator’s desk using interactive equipment to pass legislation, or don a judicial robe and rule on a case as a member of the Supreme Court. Take the Presidential Oath of Office with the help of blue-screen technology.
