Folger Shakespeare Library announced just before Christmas that the Library will reopen this coming June. Last fall, the opening scheduled for November 17, 2023 was moved to a TBA date in 2024. The date for the ribbon cutting ceremony will be made public at the end of January.
According to a news release, the newly renovated building is largely done and staff is preparing the collection for display in the exhibition halls. Work on building out the exhibition galleries and the new café in the Folger’s Great Hall continues.
The announcement from the Library states, “Our goal has always been to guarantee that generations after us are able to enjoy and benefit from our incredible collection, our innovative exhibition halls, our storied theater and all the new public spaces we’ve created.”
