Ryerss Museum and Library

I recently had an eye-opening tour of Ryerss Museum and Library in Northeast Philly. Located in Burholme Park, this hidden gem boasts a remarkable collection spanning generations.

From family heirlooms to Asian art, the museum showcases a diverse array of treasures. The Ryerss Mansion’s original rooms beautifully display art, furniture, and portraits, offering a glimpse into the family’s rich history. The rear galleries house fascinating finds from around the world. Porcelain from China, pottery from Europe, Native American baskets, and more. It’s a cultural journey within our own community.

Ryerss Library, serving since 1910, welcomes book lovers with open arms. From bestsellers to children’s literature, it’s a haven for readers of all ages. Plus, the Children’s Section is stocked with fun activities for our little ones.

Supporting our local cultural hubs makes our community stronger. Plan your visit and uncover the rich history right here in Northeast Philly!
