Spokane Public Library hosts the National Library of Medicine produced Frankenstein: Penetrating the Secrets of Nature.
The traveling exhibition and companion website explore the power of the novel Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus to expose hidden fears of science and technology as human efforts to penetrate the secrets of nature continue.
In 1816, Mary Shelley conceived a story about a scientist who creates a creature that can think and feel, but is monstrous to the eye. Spurned by all, the embittered creature turns into a savage killer. Shelley’s story served as a metaphor for apprehensions about scientific advancement that continue to resonate today. Frankenstein: Penetrating the Secrets of Nature includes an education component with two K-12 lesson plans and a university module.
A digital gallery features a curated selection of fully digitized items from the historical collections of the NLM, which are also available in their entirety in NLM Digital Collections.
The National Library of Medicine produced this exhibition and companion website.
