Posner Center Open House: Rare Books & Ancestral Machines
Rare Books & Ancestral Machines features more than thirty books and objects from the Posner Center for Special Collections. Many of these materials are on view for the first time. The exhibition inaugurates the newly renovated Center, surveying its collections and tracing more than four centuries of scientific inquiry and learning. Organized into five thematic sections — mechanical computing, robotics, cryptography, artificial intelligence, and scholarly method — the exhibit explores the histories of these disciplines, uncovering abandoned prototypes and long-forgotten technologies.
