Beach Museum Trip

Tuesday, February 9, 2016 - 10:15am

Location: Village Entrance

Meadowlark Hills will be taking a group to the Beach Museum of Art located on Kansas State University campus Tuesday, Feb. 9, visiting the exhibit,
“First Folio! The Book That Gave Us Shakespeare.”

This is a collection of famous plays, including Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Twelfth Night and fifteen others by Shakespeare that would probably have been lost to us without the First Folio. Published in 1623, the First Folio is the first collected edition of Shakespeare’s plays, and only 233 copies are known today. To mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, the Folger Shakespeare Library is sending a First Folio to every state in the United States; the Beach Museum was selected as the venue for the Folio’s display in Kansas.

Join us as K-State honors the greatest playwright of the English language with this exhibit from the world’s largest Shakespeare collection.

The cost for transportation is $3 and will depart from the Village Entrance at 10:15 a.m. A sign-up sheet is available for this event in the Blue Book located at the Hospitality Desk.
