Several DVAA members are planning to visit the Franklin Institute on Friday, Dec. 27th. DVAA members plan to meet in the Benjamin Franklin Rotunda at 6pm, where the Museum of the Moon is displayed. The Franklin Institute is open until 7pm that day. There is no charge to enter this rotunda and view the Museum of the Moon installation. To visit the other exhibits of the Institute, admission fees are required.
