NLM Exhibitions
Libraries and cultural institutions present inspiring stories about history, society, and medicine to their communities through NLM Traveling Exhibitions. Curated from NLM collections and available free of charge, these exhibitions explore current themes in public health and connect visitors to trusted NLM health information resources such as MedlinePlus and PubMed.
Hosting NLM Traveling Exhibitions brings institutions publicity through programming, encourages community partnerships, and fosters health literacy in your community. Please visit each traveling exhibition web page listed below and look for examples of how to connect audiences to NLM’s trusted health resources under “Programming with NLM Health Information Resources.”
