Titanic: The Rise of Rosenbach

Coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the international tragedy of the sinking of the RMS Titanic, the Rosenbach Museum & Library presents Titanic: The Rise of Rosenbach, on view February 15–June 24. The exhibition follows the story of book dealer Dr. A.S.W. Rosenbach as he hears about the sinking of the Titanic and realizes that his friend and protégé, Harry Elkins Widener, has gone down with the ship. Visitors are invited to learn the details of the tragic event and how, ultimately, Dr. Rosenbach’s personal loss led to professional success as he undertook a project that positioned him to become the greatest rare-books dealer of the 20th century: the creation of Harvard’s Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Library.
