From May 13 through June 10 the Center is installing new exhibitions that open in the galleries on Tuesday, June 11 and run through August 4, 2013. See the Upcoming Exhibitions section of our website for descriptive information.

Until the new exhibitions open, while visiting the Ransom Center, be certain to view the Gutenberg Bible on permanent display in the lobby.
