Yes the Academy of Natural Sciences still exists and is one of the 
premier natural history museums in the country (although its edifice is 
not as pre-possessing as some).  It is at 19th St and Ben Franklin 
Parkway (more or less). 

Not only does it maintain excellent collections (it's neotropic bird 
collection is probably the third best in the country after the AMNH and 
LSU), but it also has a very appealing live butterfly exhibit.
