THE GROLIER CLUB OF NEW YORK was one of the first organizations in America to treat books and prints as objects worthy of display, on par with painting and sculpture. In its 139-year history the Club has organized more than five hundred such exhibitions on topics ranging from Blake to Kipling, from chess to murder mysteries, from Japanese prints (the poster for an 1896 Grolier Japanese print exhibition is shown here) to Art Nouveau posters. There are three shows a year in the ground floor gallery, all open to the public free of charge.
In addition, the Club mounts each year four smaller-scale (but equally interesting) exhibitions in our second floor gallery featuring the collections of Grolier Club members.
Since 2020, all of our exhibitions are also available online for further perusal and remain available after the physical installations close:
All of our exhibitions are open to the public, free of charge, from 10am – 5pm Monday through Saturday. Information about forthcoming exhibitions is available via our website.
We are closed for the month of August, and please check our website (www.grolierclub.org) for additional holiday closings.
