Explore the Wangensteen Historical Library’s new additions to UMN’s rare collections at this casual, open house-style pop up exhibit! See texts produced in China, Japan, and Korea from as early as the 1600s in a variety of formats: manuscripts, printed books, scrolls, even acupuncture mannequins! We’ll also be showcasing our new, selected translations of some of these materials, funded through a Creative Collaboratives grant from IAS.
