For generations, the Wagner Free Institute of Science has stood as a beacon of learning and wonder in Philadelphia, and the upcoming Natural History Museum Guided Tour is a testament to that legacy. This special event celebrates not just science, but also our city’s commitment to accessible education and community engagement. From school groups to lifelong learners, the Wagner’s collection of fossils, minerals, and taxidermy has inspired local curiosity for over 150 years. This tour offers Philadelphians a chance to reconnect with their city’s past in a beautifully preserved Victorian setting and ensure that scientific discovery remains accessible to all. Join us in shining a spotlight on this beloved institution—because the Wagner’s story is part of what makes Philadelphia unique.
