PHILADELPHIA ---Congressman Brady today congratulated the National Constitution Center after being notified that the Center has been granted an award to participate in the Museum & Community Collaborations Abroad (MCCA) program. The National Constitution Center will be partnering with the National Museum of Afghanistan in Kabul, Afghanistan during the 2008-2010 MCCA cycles.
“This is a much valued award,” the Congressmen said. “Fewer than 10 U.S. museums are selected for the program every year.
