Big news! One of the most famous books in history is coming to the Beach Museum of Art 2016. The world’s largest Shakespeare collection, the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington DC, is sending a First Folio here as part of a national tour marking the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death. Published in 1623, the First Folio is the first collected edition of Shakespeare’s plays; of the 233 copies known today, 82 belong to the Folger.
