Nov. 16, 2008–Mar. 17, 2020
Dibner Hall of the History of Science
This award-winning exhibition encouraged visitors to think about the beauty of science in a historical context—the elegant breakthroughs, the remarkable discoveries, and the amazing people and stories behind them. New materials from the collections were routinely rotated on and off display to minimize light exposure and share the variety of the collections with visitors. The exhibition is arranged around four areas of exploration: astronomy, natural history, medicine, and light.
