Frankenstein: Penetrating the Secrets of Nature

FULLY BOOKED

Frankenstein: Penetrating the Secrets of Nature explores Mary Shelley's world that gave birth to Frankenstein. The exhibit examines how playwrights and filmmakers transformed the Frankenstein story into one of the Western world's most enduring myths. It considers how Mary Shelley's unfortunate creature frequently provides a framework for discussions of contemporary biomedical advances such as cloning, which challenge our traditional understanding of what it means to be human.

Developed by the National Library of Medicine in collaboration with the American Library Association.
