The Exhibition Program at the National Library of Medicine creates traveling banner exhibitions about the social and cultural history of science and medicine for libraries across the country and around the world. NLM seeks to support host venues by presenting interesting stories that stimulate people’s enthusiasm for history and encourage young people to consider careers in history, education, museum studies, and the health professions. Harry Potter’s World: Renaissance Science, Magic, and Medicine can be seen as a case study in how exhibition projects sometimes evolve. Three academic libraries in Indianapolis hosted the NLM traveling exhibit “Harry Potter’s World”. Utilizing the resources of a local consortium and the National Library of Medicine benefited not only the libraries, but also the students and faculty who were impacted by experiencing the exhibit and made aware of the resources available to them through their library and the NLM.  Learn about the benefits and lessons learned of hosting an NLM traveling exhibit. Listen to the Magic and Wonder of the National Library of Medicine traveling exhibitions!
