Bloomsday!

A related exhibition, Deciphering Ulysses: A Playful Introduction to Joyce's Novel, just opened as well. According to the Rosenbach, "This exhibit offers a playful and interactive introduction to cracking the code of Ulysses ... visitors are invited to learn about the famous novel as they decode Leopold Bloom's clandestine letters, explore his recreated desk drawer, read what the United States Court of Appeals had to say about Joyce's enigmas, and glimpse an early reader's arsenal of maps and charts for understanding the text." The exhibit is on view through September 6.
