National Museum of American Jewish History, Philadelphia


Conveniently located right on the Independence Mall in Philadelphia is the National Museum of American Jewish History and for many serious museum goers, this is a “must visit museum” whenever they are visiting Philadelphia. Hence, many bus charter passengers in Philadelphia will never hesitate to ask for a trip to visit this museum when they are visiting this part of the city.

Some of the National Museum of American Jewish History’s permanent exhibits are the Hanukkah Lamp from Lodz (Poland), engraved Kiddush Cup from Russia, Hanukkah Menorah from Russia and a portrait of Joyce Mears Myers by Edward Green Malbone. These are just some of the many Jewish traditional items on display at the museum. For those traveling for the first time to the museum in a Philadelphia charter bus, the museum is open from Tuesdays until Fridays, from 10 in the morning until 5 in the evening, while on Saturdays and Sundays, they are open from 10 in the morning until half past five in the evening.

If you happen to be visiting the National Museum of American Jewish History on Wednesdays over the summer, they have a special offer – “Pay What You Wish” and we believe that this is a very good deal for all Philadelphia chartered bus visitors! In fact, it would be really wise to take full advantage of this offer while you can, so don’t miss out on planning a trip here with your friends this summer!

Usually, Philadelphia chartered bus visitors would sign up for a guided tour by a docent at the National Museum of American Jewish History and they always come out of the tour telling our bus drivers how much they have enjoyed themselves at the museum because of how well they were treated at the museum by the museum staff as well as how much they have learned just listening to the docent guide sharing about the museum and the history of the American Jewish. Do give yourself a least a few hours to fully enjoy all the exhibits and displays in the museum.

The efficiency and knowledgeable museum staff at the National Museum of American Jewish History is something to be praised – it is something that we almost always hear our bus charter passengers whenever they leave the museum grounds. Also, not to forget, the exhibits in the museum itself are also something that they talk a lot about too, during the journey home in the chartered bus.
