Guided tour of "The Most Formidable Weapon Against Errors: The Sid Lapidus ’59 Collection & the Age of Reason"
A 30-minute guided tour of the latest exhibition in the Milberg Gallery in Firestone Library at Princeton University. Tours meet in the lobby of Firestone Library.
The Sid Lapidus ’59 Collection on Liberty and the American Revolution, given to Princeton University Library in 2021, documents the new conceptions of human liberty, political order, and scientific reasoning that emerged in the Anglo-American intellectual world between the 17th and 19th centuries. This new exhibition celebrates the collecting achievements of Sid Lapidus, who has devoted many years to the acquisition of rare books that trace the emergence of Enlightenment ideas and their influence on politics, medicine, and society, creating a powerful tool for understanding the ideas that have shaped modern American society.
The exhibition is open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday in the Milberg Gallery, Firestone Library from February 19 through June 8, 2025. Open to the public.
