On March 31 we'll be kicking off the first in a rotating series of exhibits in the first floor lobby of Tompkins-McCaw Library.

Bedpan Elegance explores an oft-overlooked object in the history of medical care that provides a simple yet vital service to the bedridden patient. The photography of William W. Dubois elevates and explicates these items in carefully composed object studies, and specimens from Tompkins-McCaw Library's own collection will be on display nearby.

Please join us for the opening reception and gallery talk, which will be held March 31 from 4-6 PM at the Tompkins-McCaw Library. The exhibit will remain open through the end of June.
