Library Company of Philadelphia, Nation's Oldest Cultural Institution, Continues Operations After Nearly 300 Years

The Library Company of Philadelphia, recognized as the oldest cultural institution in the United States, continues its operations in Center City, Philadelphia. Founded by Benjamin Franklin in July 1731, before the United States was established, the institution is approaching its 300th anniversary.

Drexel University and Academy of Natural Sciences Near Agreement to Preserve Operations in Philadelphia

Drexel University and Academy of Natural Sciences Near Agreement to Preserve Operations in Philadelphia

Drexel University and the Academy of Natural Sciences are close to finalizing an agreement that would ensure the continued operation and growth of the Academy in Philadelphia. This development follows the involvement of David L. Cohen, former U.S. ambassador to Canada and Comcast executive, who was asked by Governor Josh Shapiro to broker a solution. Cohen has held numerous meetings over several months, resulting in a draft proposal addressing governance and financial aspects. While the museum component of the Academy is slated for closure, the broader agreement aims to preserve the Academy's essential mission, including its research, education, and public engagement with its collections. This effort is driven by a desire to prevent a situation similar to the abrupt closure of the University of the Arts in June 2024, which left a significant void in the city's cultural landscape.
