Music for Machiavelli, a pop-up exhibition at the Folger in support of a Folger Consort performance by the same name, took place on September 25, 2019, at 6pm. It was curated by Greg Prickman, the Eric Weinmann Librarian and Director of Collections.

For this event, Folger Director Michael Witmore and Dr. Christopher Celenza, Dean of Georgetown College at Georgetown University, engaged in a lively discussion on Machiavelli and his iconic political treatise, The Prince. Following the discussion, Greg Prickman guided attendees through a selection of items from the Folger collections related to Machiavelli, The Prince, and early sixteenth-century Italy.
