[Artemisia] Traveling Library exhibit on Elizabeth the First

[Jacquie Ziegler]

Greetings!

I just found out that a traveling library exhibit will be in Powell, 
Wyoming, through
the end of September.

The following URL has the complete itinerary for the exhibit,

Here is the description of the exhibit:

Elizabeth I: Ruler and Legend is a new traveling exhibition for 
libraries that commemorates the 400th anniversary of the death of Queen 
Elizabeth I of England.

The exhibition encourages audiences not only to reacquaint themselves 
with the Queen, but also to become more familiar with the historical and 
cultural forces that shaped her personality and her time and examine the 
mixture of history and legend that continues to surround her today.

The traveling exhibition is based on a major exhibition of the same 
title, which opened at the Newberry Library of Chicago on September 30, 
2003.

Two copies of the exhibit are traveling to 20 libraries (for a total of 
40 libraries) around the country between October 2003 and March 2006.

Each copy consists of six colorful, freestanding photo panels 
incorporating representations of artifacts from the Newberry's 
exhibition and new text written for the exhibition by the curator, Clark 
Hulse, professor of English and art history at the University of 
Illinois at Chicago.

The sections of the traveling exhibition investigate Elizabeth's life 
and career as a head of state, reveal the political workings of her 
court, examine the cultural and diplomatic worlds of England and Europe 
in the late 16th century, and explore the legacy of Queen Elizabeth from 
the time of her death to today.

The Powell Branch Library is one of only two libraries in all of Montana 
and Wyoming selected to display the exhibit. All showings are free and 
open to the public.
