Traveling Exhibition Resources for Host Sites

Traveling Exhibition Resources for Host Sites

We’re so glad that you’ll be hosting the NEH-funded traveling exhibition Manifold Greatness: The Creation and Afterlife of the King James Bible, produced by the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, in conjunction with the American Library Association (ALA).

This limited-access Resources page is meant for institutions—including yours—that are hosting the traveling exhibition.

In honor of the 400th anniversary of its publication, the King James Bible is the subject of Manifold Greatness exhibitions at Oxford’s Bodleian Library, the Folger Shakespeare Library, and the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin, as well as this website, www.manifoldgreatness.org. This traveling display shares the core features of those exhibitions through fourteen specially designed graphic panels printed on seven double-sided freestanding banners. The panels combine original text with images of rare books, manuscripts, and art.

Please feel free to download the following resources here. As a reminder, these materials are provided for use by the Manifold Greatness host sites in conjunction with the traveling exhibition, for non-commercial and educational purposes only.
