Start Date:	6/14/2025	Start Time:	9:00 AM
End Date:	6/14/2025	End Time:	4:00 PM

Hosted by: Drexel University Libraries, Collections & Archives, with the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences (College of Arts & Sciences) and Atwater Kent Collection at Drexel

This first display of the Library Exhibit Initiative features an assignment from PSY 101 General Psychology (Winter 2024-25). Prof. Eric Zillmer asked students to select a spot in the city that brings them happiness—and visit Philadelphia Revealed, an exhibition from the Atwater Kent Collection.

The Philadelphia Challenge presents students’ reflections on objects from this city history collection, interactive elements, and a Happiness Map display by the Happiness Lab at Drexel. The Library Exhibit Initiative will continue to feature students interacting with Drexel collections and archives.

The exhibition runs March 14 through July 19, 2025, open Wednesday through Friday 11 AM - 4 PM. Kurt Vonnegut's artwork, like his writing, invites us to reflect on the human condition with humor and depth. His visual art, characterized by its simple yet poignant line drawings, often critiques societal norms and encourages empathy. This exhibition serves as a conversation starter on how art can express empathy, bridge divides and help heal societal trauma.
