Coinciding with the 400^th听anniversary of Shakespeare鈥檚 death, the听听will be on display at the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, N.H., from April 9 鈥� May 1, 2016. UNH Manchester is joining in the celebration by sponsoring a听series of Shakespeare-inspired events听throughout April.

It was a city-wide effort to get the traveling exhibit to the Currier, which is the exclusive venue for the New Hampshire and Boston metropolitan area. The Currier, UNH Manchester, UNH Durham, St. Anselm College and University of Massachusetts Lowell partnered to apply to host the听First Folio, and several community partners aided in the efforts by providing letters of support.

鈥淭he Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce has a long standing tradition of supporting the art and culture community in Manchester,鈥� said Michael J. Skelton, president & CEO of the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce. 鈥淭his exhibit will have a positive impact on the City of Manchester.鈥�

With the historic publication stirring excitement in the region, local organizations are planning lectures, workshops and events to coincide with the exhibition.

鈥淲e believe that this is an exciting opportunity for Manchester and presents many opportunities for the city鈥檚 museums and education institutions to partner with the Currier to promote the exhibit and provide additional programs,鈥� said Jeffrey R.
