    Yes, besotted can mean ‘drunk’, but it’s also a feeling of infatuation and fascination. On this tour you’ll handle intoxicating artifacts and rare books that chronicle the history of wine and explore its role within literature. You’ll sample Shakespeare’s sherry from Henry IV, Leopold Bloom’s burgundy in Ulysses, a wine-stained Passover Haggadah and George Cruikshank’s anti-alcohol prints. Created especially for visitors who seek an in-depth and focused look at the collection, Hands-On Tours allow you to get in touch with objects from our collection that are not usually on view to the public.
