BEN FRANKLIN'S GHOST at Lights of Liberty
Dr. Franklin has returned to Philadelphia as a high-tech, interactive exhibit with a dramatic holographic effect called a "Pepper's Ghost." Imagine having a conversation with Ben Franklin and being able to ask him whatever comes to mind. Founding Father, scientist, printer, inventor and American icon Benjamin Franklin can now answer hundreds of questions about his life, both serious and silly, in a world's first real-time exchange called a "synthetic interview." Ben Franklin's Ghost is free and open daily, year-round.
