Event Rental & Special Events at AAMP

Have Your Next Event Surrounded by History & Culture!
AAMP offers a unique setting for special events and programs with ongoing exhibitions and a convenient location within Historic Philadelphia's Independence Mall and Pennsylvania Convention Center areas.

We offer four galleries and an auditorium / multipurpose room, all of which are available to the public for private use. The multi-purpose room features an 9'X35' stage and audio and visual equipment. It can be transformed from a reception/party setting into a formal environment with seating to accommodate up to 150 people for events such as movie screenings and fashion shows.

These spaces are ideal for corporate events, seminars, organizational meetings, weddings and a host of other events.
