The National Constitution Center on Independence Mall in Philadelphia is a nonprofit museum and civic institution devoted to the United States Constitution. Authorized by the Constitution Heritage Act in 1988 and opened in 2003, it was established as a nonpartisan place to deepen public understanding of the Constitution near Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. Beyond exhibitions, it serves as a national forum for debate and civic education, hosting major political events and offering educational resources through its Annenberg Center for Education and Outreach. It also houses the annual Philadelphia Liberty Medal and has become a prominent part of the city’s cultural and public life.
