Description

Long hailed as the Athens of America, Boston, like Philadelphia, is replete with renowned libraries, museums, and other cultural institutions. It is situated in an historic and evocative region that redounds with early American history.

This November, as the air grows chill, the Rosenbach will lead you on a cozy excursion to the great libraries and museums of Boston and southeastern Massachusetts, many of which enjoy special connections to the Rosenbach’s collections. Enjoy breathtaking views, thought-provoking books, remarkable manuscripts, awe-inspiring artifacts, and exclusive, VIP tours of some of New England’s most illustrious cultural heritage sites.
