What could be more counter-intuitive than a museum asking visitors to consider the authenticity of their collections? On this tour, we will discuss the concept of authenticity as demonstrated in objects on display in the Rosenbach brothers’ historic townhouse. Why would a book collector knowingly purchase a forgery? What does it actually mean when a painting is credited to the school of an established artist? How can a copy tell us more about the cultural impact of the original object than the original? Come join in on this fun and lively discussion and tour.
