The Real Benjamin Franklin

The Benjamin Franklin Tercentenary, a consortium created in 2000 by the American Philosophical Society, The Franklin Institute, the Library Company of Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the University of Pennsylvania, coordinated the various exhibitions and celebrations for Franklin’s 300th birthday. The principal exhibition of the tercentenary, "Benjamin Franklin: In Search of a Better World," debuted in Philadelphia and traveled to St. Louis, Houston, Denver, Atlanta, and Paris, ending in 2008. In addition, the member organizations in the tercentenary each had their own events in the yearlong celebration.
