New Exhibit: Something Wicked This Way Comes
A new Laupus Library History Collections exhibit has been installed near the elevators on the second floor: Something Wicked This Way Comes.
Black cats, vampire bats, potions, charms, and flora with strange powers — Halloween is coming to Laupus Library! These spooky things are as much a part of medical history as they are the scariest night of the year. Come visit this exhibit to discover how cats and other creatures helped shape the study of anatomy, how certain roots and other plant materials were thought to be magical, and how pharmacists and other healers invented recipes to help the sick.
To learn more about the exhibit and related artifacts, manuscripts, and printed works, come by the Laupus Library History Collections located on the 4th floor of the library or contact one of the members of the department to schedule a tour or a reference appointment.
