Karpeles Museum

The Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum, founded in 1983 by David and Marsha Karpeles, is dedicated to inspiring curiosity and learning through its extensive collection of over a million historical documents spanning literature, science, religion, political history, exploration, music, and art. With museums located across the United States, the Karpeles museums offer free admission and rotate their collections three times a year to make these treasures accessible to the public.

Visitors can explore fascinating exhibits such as Apollo 11 documents, the Surrender Agreement of Germany from World War II, and handwritten excerpts from Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle. The museum's collection includes notable items like Benjamin Franklin's complaint on Taxation Without Representation, Einstein's E=MC2 formula, and the original manuscript of the Ten Commandments from The Gutenberg Bible, providing a unique and enriching experience for all who visit.
