Rosenbach Museum & Library


The Rosenbach Museum & Library in Philadelphia is located on Delancey Place between 20th and 21st street.  This hidden gem of the city offers visitors the opportunity to learn about the Rosenbach family, as well as see their extremely rare book collection, which is what I found to be the highlight of the tour, which lasts about 1 hour.  The tour is given by a very knowledgeable guide, which definitely helps to enhance the experience.  You'll get to see rare books such as Alice In Wonderland, Moby Dick, Ulysses and The Bible. The reason why these books are rare are explained on the tour, which is what makes this visit so unique
