While the winter winds howl outside, we once again gather to share spooky and scandalous items from the Newberry collections at “Forbidden Newberry: Volume 2.” This year, we’ve gone even further into the dark recesses of our vaults to find more terrifying and twisted treasures to make you shiver with fear and delight.
From Victorian treatises on summoning spirits to salacious Ancien Regime pop-up books concealing blasphemy and sex to a first edition of Oscar Wilde’s drippingly decadent Salome with illustrations by Aubrey Beardsley, our curators have unearthed a whole new assortment of forbidden and fascinating collection items to share with you.
Join us at this special Next Chapter event as we eat, drink, and unveil a secret and surprising side of the Newberry.
