Metcalfe is working with the Independence Seaport Museum to re-imagine itself as a signature museum with engaging visitor experiences. The museum holds a place of honor in Philadelphia for its astonishing collection that reflecting the city’s history as a North American maritime center, its diverse programs for families and students, and its prime location on the Delaware waterfront. The new building will allow the museum to display a greater variety of its collection, foster engagement between visitors and the river, and achieve a higher standard of sustainable operations.
