Vatican Splendors Exhibit at the Franklin Institute

The Franklin Institute is one of Philadelphia’s biggest tourist attractions. Every year, millions of people visit the science education center and museum. It’s located in downtown Philly and easily reachable from most areas in and around the city.

From now through February 15th, 2016 visitors can experience more than 2,000 years of Vatican history. See more than 200 works of art and historically significant objects that together form a great mosaic of the history of the Church and its impact on art, history, and culture.

The Franklin Institute holds numerous educational programs, science programs and various other exhibits throughout the year. You can visit their web site for a complete list of current and upcoming attractions.

We had the opportunity to visit this fantastic place back in November of 2015 and today…I’m sharing with all of you two of the many photos that we took while we were there as part of my “Almost” Wordless Wednesday feature.

My husband and I are both Catholic and have been Catholic all of our lives. Seeing the Vatican Splendor exhibit was very special to us and inspirational. We had a great time visiting the Franklin Institute and plan on visiting again so that we can experience other exhibits and programs that they host throughout the year.
