On display are nearly 150 manuscripts and materials from the approximately 5,300 objects in the library’s collection of materials from the Islamic world.
These 7 exhibitions—featuring oral histories, Islamic manuscripts, Nigerian pamphlets, New Haven archives, “spectacles,” and more—are on view in locations across campus.
The student-curated exhibition “SENSATION! Reported Bodies in 19th-Century American Media” opens April 28 in Hanke Gallery in Sterling Memorial Library. The exhibition draws on Beinecke Library, Cushing/Whitney Medical Library, and Haas Arts Library collections.
“Taught by the Pen: The World of Islamic Manuscripts” is on view at the Beinecke Library through Aug. 10. The exhibition displays 150 items dating from the 9th to 19th centuries.
Each of the three co-curators of “Taught by the Pen: The World of Islamic Manuscripts,” a new exhibition at Beinecke Library, will present an online talk this spring. The events are free and open to all with advance registration.
The open house will include architectural tours of the library, a pop-up exhibit of materials from the University Archives, and film related to previous inaugurations.
