In honor of the 400th anniversary of the most famous playwright's death, Carnegie Mellon University is exhibiting its rare copy of the First Folio — the original compilation of William Shakespeare’s works and one of the most valuable published books in the world.
The university got its hands on a copy through the bequest of local art collector and patron Charles J. Rosenbloom, in 1974. The Folio will be available for viewing by the public at the Posner Center Monday through Friday, from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., through Nov. 30.
