It has been a very busy month for the museum this February as the Beach Museum of Art at Kansas State University was selected to host the First Folio! The Book that Gave Us Shakespeare during the national tour. K-State won a grant competition to exhibit the rare text, which is on generous loan from the Folger Shakespeare Library. Being the only institution in Kansas to exhibit the folio over 1500 visitors have taken the rare opportunity to view this collection of Shakespeare’s works.
We hope you are able to join us this Sunday, February 28 for the farewell to the First Folio! The Book that Gave Us Shakespeare. This will be the last time to view the exhibition in Kansas. At 4:00 creative writing students help say farewell, o Folio, with the reading of poems related to the Folio. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.
