One of my favorite small museums in Philadelphia, the Rosenback is also located in a lovely section of center city between Rittenhouse and Fitler Squares. There is a permanent installation recreating the poet Marianne Moore's NYC apartment and revolving exhibitions have included ones on James Joyce, Lewis Carroll and Maurice Sendak. A nice break from the usual touring hubbub. More

For many of us, Maurice Sendak is synomous with "Where the Wild Things Are." The Rosenbach Collection brings his work as an illustrator and author to life, highlighting many of his books.

Please invest a few hours to see this museum and library. Take the time to walk the streets, stop and listen to the quiet sounds of neighborhood life. Imagine what the clip-clop of horse and carriage, the shadows from gas lamps and the smells of wood fires must have been like. Imagine the centuries of footsteps that have echoed off... More

Came to this through a Gropon coupon, and so glad we did!! Would not have known of this VERY interesting brothers or their museum! More

The staff at this museum is wonderful. The building is entirely wheelchair accessible, which is amazing considering it is in an old brownstone. Although you can only view the books behind glass (unless you make an appointment a few days in advance), the tour guides will give you enough information to keep you interested. We went on a Wednesday around... More
