A Membership to The State Museum of Pennsylvania is your passport to Pennsylvania’s incredible history – join today!

On June 25, The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC) announced the upcoming $55 million transformation of the iconic mid-century modern State Museum building and the tower that formerly housed the State Archives.

Starting January 2026, preparations will begin with the closing of the third floor and the Planetarium. Visitors will continue to enjoy our other galleries along with a new exhibit commemorating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The Museum is expected to be closed from August of 2026 until early 2029.

As we embark on our renovations to the State Museum, our membership models are shifting. Members can continue to enjoy valuable benefits even after the museum closes in August 2026.
