Inspired by the spirit and inquisitiveness of Benjamin Franklin, Philadelphia's Franklin Institute science museum aims to instil those same qualities in others. Highlights include an IMAC cinema and large-scale walk-through human heart.
Other attractions include the Fels Planetarium, the Baldwin 60000 steam locomotive, the Wright Brothers' Aeronautical Engineering Collection and the propeller of the Gossamer Albatross (on loan from Paul MacCready). The Budd BB-1 plane has been on display outside the museum since 1935.
