From January 23 through February 27 the Center is installing new exhibitions that open in the galleries on Tuesday, February 28 and run through July 29, 2012. See the Upcoming Exhibitions section of our web site for descriptive information.
Until the new exhibition opens, while visiting the Ransom Center, be certain to view the Gutenberg Bible and the First Photograph on permanent display in the lobby.
The Gutenberg Bible
The Gutenberg Bible is the first substantial book printed from movable type on a printing press. The Ransom Center holds one of five complete copies in the United States.
The First Photograph
One of the finest pieces of the Ransom Center's photography collection is the first photograph, which Frenchman Joseph Nicéphore Niépce produced in 1826.
