Please Touch Museum
Please Touch Museum enriches the lives of children by creating learning opportunities through play. Founded in 1976, Please Touch was the first museum in the nation focused on families with children ages seven and younger. Today, the museum’s interactive exhibits, programs, and events serve 525,000 visitors annually. The museum is housed in Memorial Hall, a National Historic Landmark in Fairmount Park, which was originally constructed as the art gallery for the 1876 Centennial International Exhibition, the first World’s Fair in the US.
