First Folio! The Book that Gave Us Shakespeare
February 02 - February 28, 2016

Published just seven years after his death, Mr. William Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies — now known as the First Folio — saved for posterity 18 of Shakespeare’s 38 plays, including The Tempest, Macbeth, Twelfth Night and As You Like It.

In 2016, multiple copies of this original edition, accompanied by six interpretive panels, will tour the nation as the exhibition  First Folio! The Book that Gave Us Shakespeare, providing hundreds of thousands of visitors with a rare opportunity to view this important book in their own community.
