Harry Potter Exhibition

There’s a new Harry Potter Exhibition beginning to tour: Harry Potter’s World: Renaissance Science, Magic and Medicine should be an interesting exhibit. Originally on display only at the National Library of Medicine, it was offered in conjunction with the ALA on a very limited basis for libraries and institutions that entered a competition for the rights to host it.

The original winners are here, but apparently the demand for the exhibit was so great, they’ve created a few copies of it, and there are now plans for the exhibit to run at multiple locations straight into 2012. That schedule is here. (Note that this “full schedule” is missing the dates of the original winners of said competition, so check those dates here.) You can find Harry Potter’s World on Facebook and Twitter.

I’m finalizing details to speak at the exhibition when it’s at the Galesburg Public Library (Illinois) in June 2010.

Here’s a description of the event from the website: [click to continue…]
