Dracula - Myth and reality

As fall settles in, our thoughts switch from summer BBQs to Halloween costumes and fun-sized candy. So while you’re planning your events for the ghoulish month of October, try to schedule some time to celebrate Dracula at The Rosenbach Museum and Library.

The week-long Dracula Festival is filled with entertaining events with informative facts that you can really sink your teeth into (come on, the pun had to be used at some point). The Rosenbach has authority on the fanged man, as it is the “home of Bram Stoker’s research notes and outlines for Dracula.”
