    University Museums is delighted to exhibit an original
    1623 First Folio from the Folger Shakespeare Library as
    part of First Folio! The Book That Gave Us Shakespeare,
    a first-ever national tour of this rare book to celebrate
    400 years of Shakespeare and his legacy. Considered
    one of the most influential books in the world, the
    First Folio includes 36 Shakespeare plays, 18 of which
    had never been printed before. Without the First Folio,
    these plays including Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Twelfth
    Night, The Tempest, As You Like It, and moremight
    have been lost forever.

    Illustrating Shakespeare: From Boydell to Baskin
    Old College Gallery
    August 30 September 25, 2016
    This exhibition opens with the late-eighteenth
    century enterprise of the successful printer
    and publisher John Boydell (17191804), who
    commissioned major artists then active in England

    to paint scenes from the plays to be exhibited in a


    London gallery on Pall Mall. Drawn from Delaware
    collections, this exhibition bears witness to the legacy
    of Shakespeare and to our continued fascination
    with his creations, by focusing on key characters in
    Shakespeares plays visualized by artists whose works
    reflect changing tastes and styles over two centuries.
