Amazing rare book and incredible artifact museum. Tenn dollar admission fee is well worth it. Most knowledgeable tour guides. We took a tour with a small child who is not allowed to touch anything in the museum and it still went 45 minutes and we saw everything. Such a beautiful building full of beautiful things. Highly recommended. Especially if you enjoy books and literature.

If you love books this place is your "mother ship." You wont want to leave! We toured the home then met with a librarian who showed us letters from Washington and Jefferson, first edition copies of Don Quixote, Alice in Wonderland, Dracula, and the Pickwick Papers. We were invited to touch and turn through the books! It wad absolutely incredible and any unforgettable experience.

Took the tour. The docent was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The third floor, stuffed with first editions was the highlight of our time there. Another item of note was a vellum proclamation from Charles the Second on the first floor. One of the items in that declaration was that womens parts in plays should be performed by women instead of boys, neat! Well be back!

A hidden gem, and worth a trip if you appreciate literature and the written word. Also got to see the Maurice Sendak _Where the Wild Things Are_ exhibit, with early sketches and drafts, and a standout in the regular collection is the first edition of _Alice Adventures in Wonderland_ by Lewis Carroll.

For lovers of the printed book, or of Philadelphia Jewish history this is a place to go. Unfortunately the Maurice Sendak collection is no longer here, but lots of other interesting books and manuscripts.

This place is awesome as others have noted, this is a hidden gem. Just saw Oscar Wilde exhibit. Loved it. Always do an excellent job mounting exhibits. Annual Bloomsday not to be missed.

Oh a hidden gem in Philly. Especially appealing to fans of Maurice Sendak, and other old and rare books and manuscripts.
