PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Franklin, Pennsylvania’s most-visited museum and home to The Giant Heart, has received a $4 million contribution from international biopharmaceutical leader Cephalon, Inc., to develop a new signature exhibit for the museum built around neuroscience and the brain. Crowning a long-time relationship with The Franklin, the Cephalon commitment marks the largest single corporate donation in The Franklin Institute’s history and one of the largest corporate gifts to a science museum. The contribution from Cephalon is part of The Franklin’s recently announced Inspire Science! fundraising effort. The museum has already received $27 million in funding, with a goal of raising $60 million for an ambitious series of revitalization efforts, including a building extension that will house the brain exhibit.
