noopener">NLM Traveling Exhibitions</a> have presented fascinating stories about the social and cultural history of medicine to over 8 million people at institutions across the United States and around the world. In fact, in 2023 alone, NLM Traveling Exhibitions visited 277 venues in 44 states. This initiative extends the reach of NLM’s resources far beyond the library’s walls in Bethesda, Maryland. Through this roadshow approach, NLM brings significant moments, pioneering figures, and groundbreaking medical advancements directly to local institutions and communities. These engaging exhibits foster understanding by considering how health and medicine today have been shaped by the past.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="alignright size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="660" height="314" data-attachment-id="13912" data-permalink="https://nlmdirector.nlm.nih.gov/2024/10/30/on-the-road-connecting-with-communities-through-nlms-traveling-exhibition-program/musings-exhibitions-1-2/" data-orig-file="https://nlmdirector.nlm.nih.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Musings-Exhibitions-1-1.jpg" data-orig-size="660,314" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="Musings Exhibitions 1" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://nlmdirector.nlm.nih.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Musings-Exhibitions-1-1.jpg" data-large-file="https://nlmdirector.nlm.nih.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Musings-Exhibitions-1-1.jpg" src="https://nlmdirector.nlm.nih.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Musings-Exhibitions-1-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-13912" style="width:400px" srcset="https://nlmdirector.nlm.nih.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Musings-Exhibitions-1-1.jpg 660w, https://nlmdirector.nlm.nih.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Musings-Exhibitions-1-1-648x308.jpg 648w, https://nlmdirector.nlm.nih.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Musings-Exhibitions-1-1-404x192.jpg 404w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em><a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/exhibition/frankenstein/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Frankenstein: Penetrating the Secrets of Nature</a> at Health Connect South Dakota</em></figcaption></figure></div> <p>NLM Traveling Exhibitions explore various themes related to medicine and health, including the significant contributions of women in medicine and how epidemics have shaped society throughout history. These exhibitions are expertly curated from NLM collections to be both educational and engaging and to appeal to a wide array of visitors. Exhibitions incorporate original historical research by historians, academics, and others from a variety of organizations, from universities to community centers. For example, the exhibition <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/exhibition/thisleadiskillingus/collection.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>This Lead is Killing Us</em></a>, which won the American Industrial Hygiene Association’s 2024 Virtual Exhibition of the Year Award, tells an important story of advocates protecting their communities from the dangers of lead and making sure the voices of these communities reached relevant industries, housing authorities, and elected officials. These exhibitions are not just confined to museums or libraries—they’ve made stops at hospitals, universities, schools, professional associations, and more, making high-quality historical content accessible to more and more people.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="alignleft size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="660" height="261" data-attachment-id="13914" data-permalink="https://nlmdirector.nlm.nih.gov/2024/10/30/on-the-road-connecting-with-communities-through-nlms-traveling-exhibition-program/musings-exhibitions-2/" data-orig-file="https://nlmdirector.nlm.nih.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Musings-Exhibitions-2.jpg" data-orig-size="660,261" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="Musings Exhibitions 2" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://nlmdirector.nlm.nih.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Musings-Exhibitions-2.jpg" data-large-file="https://nlmdirector.nlm.nih.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Musings-Exhibitions-2.jpg" src="https://nlmdirector.nlm.nih.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Musings-Exhibitions-2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-13914" style="width:400px" srcset="https://nlmdirector.nlm.nih.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Musings-Exhibitions-2.jpg 660w, https://nlmdirector.nlm.nih.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Musings-Exhibitions-2-648x256.jpg 648w, https://nlmdirector.nlm.nih.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Musings-Exhibitions-2-486x192.jpg 486w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em><a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/exhibition/fromdnatobeer/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">From DNA to Beer</a>, an NLM exhibition on adapting tiny organisms for health and profit.</em></figcaption></figure></div> <p>Hosting one of these exhibitions offers institutions a unique chance to provide their communities with educational experiences that might otherwise be out of their reach.

To help libraries and institutions interested in <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/hmd/get-involved/hostexhibitions.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hosting traveling exhibitions</a>, NLM collaborates closely with the <a href="https://www.nnlm.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Network of the National Library of Medicine</a> for support and additional resources. From logistical assistance and promotional materials to guidance on how to integrate the exhibits into local programs, NLM ensures that each installation is both impactful and accessible. For firsthand accounts of host venue experiences, check out the <a href="https://circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov/category/series/making-exhibition-connections/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Making Exhibition Connections series</a> in NLM’s historical collections blog <em>Circulating Now</em>.</p> <p>NLM Traveling Exhibitions not only enrich the cultural landscape of communities across the United States, but they also foster a deeper connection between historical context and contemporary health discussions. They provide an opportunity for host venues to collaborate with NLM, which is dedicated to preserving and sharing medical history. By hosting an NLM exhibition, communities can engage with compelling stories and pivotal moments in health care, bridging the gap between past and present.
