Education

One of our founders Dr. Rosenbach bought his ﬁrst rare book at the age of 12! The Rosenbach recognizes that art and literature can be remarkably inspiring for a child. The museum aims to engage learners of all ages with its collections through its work with local schools and the creation of a series of special family programs.
