Please Touch Museum Opens New Home In Oct.

Philadelphia's popular Please Touch Museum will open in its new historic home in October.

The museum has outgrown its downtown location. It's moving to historic Memorial Hall in Fairmount Park, which has more than triple the space.

Workers are renovating and restoring Memorial Hall inside and out.

The building is from the 1876 Centennial Exhibition. After that, it was the city's art museum until the current museum was built in 1928.

The current Please Touch Museum closes on Labor Day.
