Beautiful Science: Light

Nov. 16, 2008–March 17, 2020
Dibner Hall of the History of Science

Harnessing and understanding light have challenged humankind for centuries. Our understanding of the properties of light and energy, as well as the ways in which we use them, continue to evolve. In Beautiful Science: Ideas that Changed the World, the complex science of light was presented through the lens of experimentation. The exhibition also included a significant collection of historic light bulbs.
