What is Karpeles Manuscript Museum?

The Karpeles Manuscript Library is the world’s largest private collection of original manuscripts and documents. The library was founded in 1983 by California real estate magnates, David and Marsha Karpeles, with the goal of stimulating interest in learning. Buffalo is the only city with two museums. There are now 10 museums in 9 cities across the United States.

Check out some of the great local places along Elmwood Avenue or in Allentown. Venture over to Canalside or take a swing down to the Buffalo River.
