Our nation's first "Think Tank" for science. Currently featuring an amazing exhibit on Thomas Jefferson.

It’s all about science, art and history, so it’s no surprise that the American Philosophical Society (APS) was another of Ben Franklin’s ideas. Exhibitions come from APS’s collection of nearly 13 million early American manuscripts, maps, Native American languages, scientific instruments and more.
