MUSEUM DISTRICT - is also known as the Art Museum District or the Parkway District in Philadelphia, PA. It is located along the Ben Franklin Parkway from Eakins Oval/Fairmount Hill to Logan Circle-Square. The area sometimes is extended north to include sites such as Boathouse Row and Eastern State Penitentiary,  and south along the Parkway to Love Park and City Hall. This area encompasses parts of several distinct neighborhoods, including Fairmount, Spring Garden, Franklinville, and Logan Square.

The Museum District's many attractions include the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Rodin Museum (Philadelphia has the second largest Rodin collection in the world following only Paris, France.), the Academy of Natural Sciences, the Franklin Institute, and the main branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia. The renown Barnes Foundation has plans to relocate to the Museum District. This is also the area in which singer/actor/activist, Bob Geldof, chose to stage the American branch of the renown 'Live Aid' concert in the 1980's, and most recently in 2006 for the 'Live 8' concert which was televised around the world. The 4th of July festivities and fireworks are usually held in the District along the Ben Franklin Parkway.
