Dear Colleagues,

 

As Experience Music Project|Science Fiction Museum plans its next exhibition with a genre fiction component, I am in search of other museums that have done exhibitions or projects based on literature. I have found many exhibitions on book arts, illustration, or specific authors (and of course there are many historic sites related to authors) and I am happy to have references to anything that people consider particularly well-done. What I am most interested in, though, are projects that cast the net a little more widely and especially those that deal with the texts themselves as primary sources.

 

Thanks so much!
