Rosenbach Museum & Library

Take a tour of this incredible museum and library and see a sampling of over 400,000 books, manuscripts and letters by authors you know including Bram Stoker, Emily Dickinson, Oscar Wilde and Toni Morrison and those you probably don’t like the first Black author to be published in the United States, Phillis Wheatley, and American playwright and Queer icon Mercedes De Acosta.

Sign up for one of our special Behind the Bookcase programs which feature writers you may not have heard about such as the first Black author to be published in the United States, Phillis Wheatley, and American playwright and Queer icon Mercedes De Acosta. We also offer free appointments with our friendly librarians who can help you make connections between your coursework and our collections.
