The rest of our building reopens Friday, June 21

We can’t wait to welcome you to our building on Capitol Hill after a major multi-year building renovation that will allow us to share more of our collection and resources than ever before.

The transformed Folger features two new exhibition halls, a learning lab, welcoming gardens, collaborative research spaces, and expanded visitor amenities such as a new café and gift shop. Along with our newly constructed public wing, the Folger’s historic spaces, including the Reading Room, will also reopen.
