Join us for the Rare Book & Manuscript Library's Spring 2020 Exhibition Opening Event!

What are the limits of possibility? How far can humans go, physically and intellectually? And what are they prepared to do to get what they want?

These are only a few of the questions that Divine Madness attempts to answer. Drawing on texts ancient and modern, the topics examined have numerous intersections geographically, historically, and philosophically. This exhibit is a collaborative exploration of the inner and outer lives of people as reflected in the expansive collections at the RBML.

Join us at 3:10pm for a conversation with the exhibition’s curators, Dr. Cait Coker, Siobhan McKissic, Ruthann E. Miller, & Ana D. Rodriguez. This event is free and open to all. Refreshments will be served.
