June 25, 2016 - 9:00am Special Collections has a new exhibit on the third floor of the Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center, Upstart Crow: Shakespeare in Northern Nevada. This exhibit coincides with Shakespeare 400, the national commemoration of the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. The display examines the impact of Shakespeare, both past and present, in Northern Nevada. Materials on display range from the flourishing 1800’s Virginia City Shakespearean theater scene to the modern Lake Tahoe Shakespeare festival. A high point of the exhibit is the original first through fourth folios of the Merchant of Venice.
This exhibit is free and runs through July 15.
