An ideal location for small dinners, receptions, or meetings, the Board Room is decorated in an English Regency style with mahogany tables and high-backed chairs. The walls are hung with important paintings from the Folger collection, and three-dimensional works are on display on some tables. The room also has a large retractable screen for slide and film presentations.
The Tea Room adjoins the Board Room, and the two spaces are sometimes used together for special events and scholarly conferences. A small display case houses changing displays of materials from the Folger collection.
