Dimensions of Wonderland: From Alice's Adventures Under Ground to Beyond the Moon
This exhibition explores Lewis Carroll’s classic, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and the many derivative works inspired by the original. The exhibit showcases the evolution of a cultural icon—from the children’s story never intended to be published, to the vast and diverse interpretations of Alice through the last one hundred and forty years. Featured are early editions of the book, illustrations by prominent artists, translations, parodies, games, and artifacts. The exhibit, located in the Special Collections and Archives reading room (LIB RM 1212), runs from December 1, 2007 - June 30, 2008.
