America's first chartered hospital will mark its 275th anniversary by transforming Pennsylvania Hospital's historic Pine Building into a museum, open to the public in May, 2026. Timed to coincide with America250 celebrations in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Hospital Museum links the nation's first hospital's rich history with Penn Medicine's continued leadership in science and medicine.
Exhibits will include the preserved historic library and surgical amphitheater, and newly restored apothecary. The eight unique galleries feature interactive video and other hands-on activities to illustrate previously untold stories about Pennsylvania Hospital's role in the history of modern medicine.
