Located on the third floor of McDermott Library (MC 3.504), the Nebula Gallery features rotating exhibits curated from the unique holdings of Special Collections and Archives, including rare books, photographs, and historical materials you won’t find anywhere else. Open Monday–Friday, 8 AM–5 PM.
Now on view: Undercover Beauties (through August 17)
Ever wondered what swirl, shell, or Spanish wave marbled paper looks like? This exhibit reveals the hidden artistry of hand-marbled papers from our Rare Books Collection—each one a one-of-a-kind design hiding in plain sight.
Coming soon: Required Reading: Sci-Fi Edition (August 19–September 14)
Start the semester with a journey through time and space. Explore the bold cover art of 1950s pulp science fiction novels that imagined atomic futures, alien encounters, and rocket-powered possibilities.
Up next: Archives Month: Staff Favorites (September 15–October 16)
We’re kicking off Archives Month a little early with an exhibit that highlights staff-selected favorites from across our collections—items that spark curiosity, tell powerful stories, or simply bring us joy.
