Garrick's Temple to
Shakespeare
Garrick's Temple to Shakespeare was built in
1756 by the18th century actor-manager David
Garrick, to celebrate the genius of William
Shakespeare, whose works he had performed
to great acclaim throughout his career. Garrick
used the Temple to house his extensive collection
of Shakespearean relics and for entertaining
his family and friends. The Temple now houses
an exhibition about Garrick himself, featuring
a number of reproductions of works by major
18th century artists, including Gainsborough,
Reynolds, Hogarth and Zoffany. It is reputedly the
world's only shrine to Shakespeare.
