## **Private Docent-Led Tour of Two Special Exhibitions** 🗓 **Monday\, September 14\, 2026 \| 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM** 📍 **The Grolier Club** 47 East 60th Street, New York, NY 10022 👥 **Limited to 20 Members** 💵 **Admission and Tour: Free** ## ✨ A Rare Visit to One of New York City’s Most Distinguished Cultural Institutions Join us for a very special private group visit to **The Grolier Club**, one of New York City’s most fascinating institutions devoted to books, printing, illustration, collecting, and the graphic arts. Although located in the heart of Manhattan, the Grolier Club remains unfamiliar to many New Yorkers. Its thoughtfully curated exhibitions explore the history, artistry, cultural importance, and enduring influence of books and printed materials. For our visit, the Club has graciously arranged a **private docent-led tour of both exhibitions currently on view**. ## 📖 Our Private Docent-Led Tour Our group will be led by a knowledgeable Grolier Club docent who will guide us through both exhibitions and explain their major themes, featured objects, historical background, and cultural significance. The guided portion of our visit will last approximately one hour. Afterward, members will have additional time to return to the displays, examine favorite objects more closely, read the exhibition materials, and continue exploring independently. ## 🖼️ Two Exhibitions in One Visit Our private tour will include both exhibitions presented within the Grolier Club’s galleries. The individual exhibition titles and complete details will be added as soon as they are formally confirmed by the Club. Members can expect a richly presented experience involving rare books, manuscripts, illustrations, printed works, historical documents, and other exceptional objects connected with the art and history of the book. ## ⏰ Event Schedule **10:45 AM** — Meet outside or near the entrance **11:00 AM – 12:00 PM** — Private docent-led tour of both exhibitions **12:00 PM – 1:00 PM** — Additional independent viewing time Members may continue exploring until they are ready to leave. ## 💵 Cost **There is no charge for this event.** The Grolier Club is generously providing our group with complimentary admission and a private docent-led tour. ## 👥 Attendance Limit This event is strictly limited to **20 members**. Because the Club is arranging a docent specifically for us, please RSVP only if you are reasonably certain that you can attend. ## 🌟 Why This Event Is Special This is an opportunity to visit a remarkable New York institution that many people have never experienced, while enjoying expert guidance through two specially curated exhibitions. The event combines art, literature, history, design, collecting, and visual culture in an elegant and intimate setting. Join us for a fascinating morning of discovery at one of New York City’s true hidden cultural treasures.
