Virtual Exhibitions

Temple University Libraries continues their ongoing commitment to presenting both academic and cultural materials to the world community. Listed at left are current and previous exhibits most of which were developed in tandem with a physical exhibit at Samuel L. Paley Library. Each virtual exhibit is often only a subset of the physical exhibit. Everyone is welcome to attend the exhibits, their openings, and to check our updated schedule of upcoming events.
