Mummers Museum

Just went to the SBA telethon had a great time! Love the mummers!

What a wonderful place for travelers and locals alike! If you're in the south philly area and it is definitely a must see. The museum goes over everything from the history of the parade, to the intricacies of the costumes, to the designs from the drawing board. You can even dress up in mummers costumes and hats!nnThe museum is free but make sure you throw in a dollar or two to keep the place going. We went on a Saturday afternoon and we were the only ones at the museum.nnThere is some parking behind the building and street parking everywhere. The basement of the museum is also an event space for up to 200 people I believe.

Its great to see tradition and to see how the mummer's really started out

An Historic Event that ushered in Every New Year in Philadelphia. The Museum is full of Treasures. Mummers are a Brotherhood/Sisterhood. They devote a large amount of time and effort to this One Day. Sadly I Believe the Parade lost some of its Glitter when it changed its Starting point from South of Oregon ave. In South Philly. Still these People should be Honored for their Devotion and Participation. A Unique Event.Pure Philly!

A wonderful place to learn about the best tradition the city has to offer. If you need a hall for your event, come here! The staff will treat you well.
