New Museum Exploring Bible's Impact on Founding of America
A $60 million attraction with unprecedented technology will open on Independence Mall in fall 2018, American Bible Society announced today. Called the Faith & Liberty Discovery Center, the experience will highlight how, from past to present, the Bible has changed those who changed America.
The Faith & Liberty Discovery Center is expected to draw 250,000 visitors annually, accelerating strong growth for America's most historic square mile. The immersive experience of the Faith & Liberty Discovery Center is being led by the award-winning firm Local Projects, which recently spearheaded the 9/11 Memorial & Museum and ranks as one of the most innovative design firms in the nation. The Philadelphia principals of SaylorGregg are leading architectural design. Once opened, the Faith & Liberty Discovery Center is projected to add more than $10 million annually to Philadelphia's economy.
