Shakespeare and His First Folio was offered by the 91´«Ã½ (91´«Ã½) Public Programs Office, in collaboration with the Folger Shakespeare Library and Cincinnati Museum Center (CMC). The tour was made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the human endeavor.

This opportunity was open to public, academic and special libraries, small museums, historical societies and other cultural venues.

Each host institution had a suitable space in which to display the First Folio and exhibition and meet environmental and security requirements. Selected sites were asked to plan several related programs, including an opening event and programs for schoolteachers and families. The tour launched in January 2016 and continued through the calendar year.
