Description

Shortly before the beginning of World War Two, Dr. A.S.W. Rosenbach hosted a charity rare book auction to benefit European refugees. The sum he and friends raised through this interfaith endeavor would be more than half a million today. In the spirit of our founder’s philanthropy The Rosenbach invites you to explore the little-known stories of friendship, good will, and charity found in our halls and galleries. Kick off your festive winter season with a heartwarming evening at The Rosenbach as we share tales of friendship and charity from our portraits, letters, books, and other treasures. If our collections could talk, they would have much to say about the virtues of kindness and human connection.  

Proof of Vaccination

Beginning on September 1, visitors and program attendees must show proof of vaccination along with all ​staff members and volunteers. With limited space for social distancing in our historic house and library, requiring proof of vaccination is the best way to protect the health and safety of our visitors and staff.

• Visitors and program attendees will be required to show proof of vaccination along with their photo ID at the front desk. We will accept your original CDC issued card or a photo.
• With the vaccine requirement in place, masks are not required but are encouraged and will be available for use.
• Visitors who are unable to show proof of vaccination will not be able to visit The Rosenbach at this time, including unvaccinated children under the age of 12.
