General Tours happen everyday of the week at the Folger and cover the Founding of the Library, the Folgers, Shakespeare's life and times and much more.
We no longer offer scheduled exhibition tours, but will give impromptu tours of the exhibition or include it as part of the general tour.
There will be no Garden Tours for the remainder of 2018 due to construction on the building.
The Close-Up Tours were designed for the Close-Up Tour company which brought teachers from across the U.S. to Washington, D.C. to visit local institutions. It was designed to cover Shakespeare and American History.
Private tours are offered to groups larger than 15-20 people or to those with a special interest. (Sign Up Here)
