Check Us Out!


The news gods smile upon us today with this fantastic NYT Escapes piece by Curtis Sittenfeld. For a museum that has serious “visibility issues,” this is very welcome coverage. Thank you news gods!

…and yes, there will be corrections. Most significantly–the Sendak collection is not an “acquisition.” We don’t own it. Mr. Sendak’s drawings are on deposit at the museum (save a handful of pieces we do own). Also, the Dracula notes weren’t purchased by the brothers–they were purchased by the museum in the 1970’s, long after they had died. And just in case you didn’t read inside the fold, we don’t have Napoleon’s penis anymore.

But if you haven’t visited the Rosenbach–come now before the crowds do! [we hope.]
