The Benjamin Franklin National Memorial is the only national memorial on private property. Located in the rotunda of the Franklin institute it consists of a 6 meter tall marble statue weighing 30 tons atop a 92 ton pedestal. The statue is the first thing to greet a visitor as they enter the museum.
