Scholars from all over the world come to the Folger reading rooms to work with the Folger’s Shakespeare and early modern collections. Visitors on these weekend tours first see the Paster Reading Room, featuring Nicola d’Ascenzo’s famous stained glass window of the “Seven Ages of Man” from As You Like It and a bust of Shakespeare based on the one at his grave at Holy Trinity Church in Stratford, before entering the adjoining Bond Reading Room.
