Rosenbach Museum & Library, Literary museum in Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia, United States.
The museum maintains 130,000 manuscripts and 30,000 rare books within two connected 1860s townhouses filled with Egyptian statuary and Persian rugs.
Following the deaths of Dr. A.S.W. and Philip Rosenbach in 1954, their rare books and manuscripts collection established this educational institution.
The institution houses James Joyce's handwritten manuscript of Ulysses and marks June 16 with annual Bloomsday readings and celebrations.
The museum operates Thursday through Saturday from 10:30 AM to 6:00 PM and Sunday from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM with guided tours required.
Visitors can explore poet Marianne Moore's Greenwich Village living room, reconstructed with her personal items including Brooklyn Dodgers memorabilia.
