Philadelphia, PA 19130

Located in Philadelphia, PA, Joan of Arc is a cultural institution situated on the iconic Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The parkway, often likened to the Champs Elysées in Paris, is home to a variety of world-renowned art museums such as the Barnes Foundation, Moore College of Art and Design, and the Rodin Museum.

Visitors can explore Ben Franklin’s legacy at The Franklin Institute or come face-to-face with a giant T-Rex skeleton at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University. Families can enjoy the warmer months at Sister Cities Park, where kids can play in fountains and enjoy refreshments at the on-site cafe.

The Benjamin Franklin Parkway is not just a scenic stretch; it is a triumph in urban planning. With its fountains, parks, statues, and monuments, the parkway exudes a special aura that reflects meticulous design. Originally a bustling urban area, the Parkway has evolved into a cultural mecca, celebrating its 100th birthday in 2018.
