On Wednesday, the Museum of the American Revolution opened in Philadelphia. Designed by New York-based Robert A.M. Stern Architects, with landscape architecture by local firm Olin, the 118,500-square-foot, three-story building “evokes the restrained Classicism that heralded the birth of the Republic,” according to the architects. Watch Wednesday’s opening ceremony, featuring former Vice President Joe Biden, on C-SPAN’s website.
