Behind the Bookcase Tour | Fakes & Forgeries | In-Person
What is the difference between a fake and a forgery? How do either of those differ from a copy? And why does authenticity matter in museum collections? In this tour, we’ll explore these questions with a wide range of objects in the Rosenbach’s collection. We’ll look at some of “Shakespeare’s” greatest works, a mug that once “belonged” to George Washington, a manuscript draft by Edgar Allan Poe, and more to uncover the truths and reveal the mysteries that follow fakes and forgeries.
