New Karpeles Museum Hours

Spring and summer museum hours are back at both Karpeles Manuscript Museums. North and Porter Hall are open 11am to 4pm Tuesday through Sunday. Both museums are closed on Monday.

From the museum itself:

"The exhibits we currently have up will be on display until April 30th 2009. At the North Hall location we are featuring pieces from the collection that document Florence Nightingale's life while working on sanitary conditions during the Crimean War and also her advances in the field of nursing. At the Porter Hall location we have a very exciting exhibit that displays work from Sigmund Freud, including manuscripts that are part of some of his most famous research. Also at the North Hall location we have added an exhibit called Medieval Keys and at Porter Hall we have an exhibit called Rabbits that features manuscripts by Beatrix Potter that wrote Peter Rabbit, sketches and manuscripts of Watership Down, manuscript of the Velveteen Rabbit, and also original drawings by the creator of Bugs Bunny. All of these will come down at the end of April so make sure you come check them out!"
