Kick off your summer with the Museum Council!
Convene with your museum peers both old and new at the Museum Council of Greater Philadelphia’s annual meeting. Enjoy a summer evening with conversation and refreshments at the historic Carpenter’s Hall in Old City. This building has been home to the Carpenter’s Company since 1771, and is famous for also hosting meetings of the First Continental Congress.
The annual meeting portion of the program will happen from 6:30 - 7 pm, but the rest of the event offers an opportunity to relax and connect with your colleagues. We look forward to seeing you there!
This event is rain or shine. Register today.
