Harry Potter’s World: Renaissance Science, Magic and Medicine All Day Curtis Memorial Library, 23 Pleasant St. , Brunswick

Curtis Memorial Library Only Northern New England Stop for Harry Potter’s World:  Renaissance Science, Magic and Medicine

A Traveling Exhibit from the National Library of Medicine’s History of Medicine Division

 Brunswick’s public library, Curtis Memorial Library at 23 Pleasant Street, is thrilled to be one of only two other New England destinations through early 2018 for Harry Potter’s World:  Renaissance Science, Magic and Medicine, an exhibit developed and produced by the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health. 

 This exhibit will be featured from April 13 to May 20th in the Library’s Collaboratory, an interactive, educational space for all ages with exhibits and programs rotating monthly. 

 In 1997, British author J.K. Rowling introduced the world to Harry Potter and a literary phenomenon was born.  Although a fantasy story, the magic in the Harry Potter books is partially based on Renaissance traditions that played an important role in the development of Western science and medicine.   Incorporating the work of several 15th and 16th century thinkers, the seven-part exhibit examines important ethical topics such as the desire for knowledge, the effects of prejudice and the responsibility that comes with power. 

 Throughout the exhibit’s residency at Curtis Memorial Library, a variety of programs and activities will be offered for Harry Potter fans and curious minds of all ages and interests. 

 Please visit the Library’s website at www.curtislibrary.com/collaboratory for more information about the exhibit.  Free.  All ages welcome.
