Description
Shakespeare's works deal with the themes of chivalry, warfare, conflict, and honor. This exhibition explores the resonances between the Folger's collection—including jousting manuals, battlefield plans, styles of armor, and more—and the extensive collection of Shakespearean-era artifacts at the Higgins Armory (Worcester, MA), bringing visitors face to face with artifacts that embody many of these themes. June 5-September 9. Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; closed federal holidays. Admission is free.
