Rosenbach Museum and Library

Museum for bibliophiles

About

This isn't your typical museum full of paintings or artifacts. The Rosenbach Museum and Library in Philadelphia specializes in rare books and manuscripts, including the original manuscript of James Joyce's Ulysses. It also holds personal letters between lesbian writer Mercedes de Acosta and Greta Garbo, offering a queer angle. The venue itself is a historic 1860s townhouse in Rittenhouse Square.
