- Synopsis
- Podcast from the Folger Shakespeare Library. The Library holds the world’s largest Shakespeare collection, and the crown jewels of that collection are the 82 First Folios. To celebrate 400 years of Shakespeare, eighteen of these rare books are travelling the country throughout 2016 in the ‘First Folio! The Book That Gave Us Shakespeare’ exhibition. But before they hit the road, each First Folio received care from the Folger conservators. In this episode, Renate Mesmer takes the listener on a behind-the-scenes tour of the Werner Gundersheimer Conservation Laboratory. Interviews by Neva Grant.
