In April, exhibits enhanced by interactive technologies will make the Library of Congress and its collections more dynamic and accessible than ever before. This Library of Congress Experience will offer "hands-on" interaction with rare cultural treasures in ways that inspire and engage.
Artifacts like the 1507 Waldseemüller map (the first to include the name "America"), the rough draft of the Declaration of Independence, the Gutenberg Bible and original volumes from Thomas Jefferson's Library will be virtually at your fingertips.
Begin your Library of Congress Experience by sampling two of their exhibits below:
