Library Of Congress Traveling Exhibit Comes To Pensacola Today, Monday
A special Library of Congress traveling exhibit-mounted in a customized 18-wheel truck will be on display in Pensacola through Monday, sponsored by the West Florida Public Library.
The 1,000 square foot exhibition will outline the history of the Library, including Thomas Jefferson’s role in re-establishing the Library, when he provided his personal book collection to the nation after the burning of the U.S. Capitol in 1814.
The display will include high-quality facsimiles of many of the Library’s top treasures including the 1455 Gutenberg Bible, a rough draft of the Declaration of Independence, in Thomas Jefferson’s hand with edits by Benjamin Franklin and John Adams and the 1962 drawings for the comic book that introduced Spider-Man to the world.
The “Gateway to Knowledge” exhibition will bring information about the millions of resources in the Library’s unparalleled collections to small towns and rural communities across America.
The “Gateway to Knowledge” will be in Pensacola Sunday and Monday, July 2-3, at Fountain Park just south of Seville Square in the parking lot adjacent to Bayfront Parkway between Adams St. and S. Alcaniz St. The exhibit is free and will be open to the public from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. both days.
The trailer expands to three times its road width, and visitors will enter from a central staircase to find several areas of museum-style exhibits including a welcoming multimedia display and computer terminals displaying Library of Congress websites.
This year’s Gateway to Knowledge exhibition debuted at the National Book Festival in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 25, 2010. Photo courtesy Library of Congress, Tom Fontana, for NorthEscambia.com, click to enlarge.
