The Library of Congress is unveiling an eclectic new exhibit drawing on the institution’s vast historical archives and designed to make the library a more popular and accessible destination for visitors and tourists.
David Mandel, the library's director of exhibits, said the goal was to leave visitors feeling “surrounded and immersed in the library's collections.” The exhibit will run for about 18 months, through the end of 2025. Some of the more delicate items on display will rotate out at six-month intervals to protect them from exposure. The 127 items on display are all drawn from the Library of Congress' own internal collections, which number more than 178 million pieces.
