The exhibit is arranged by categories that could interest contemporary researchers and the general public. Each group of advertisements is thematically arranged around relevant questions intended to encourage a serious consideration of advertising. The entire exhibit is organized as an attempt to answer why advertising is important to research. Most importantly, the exhibit attempts to provoke the casual consideration of advertisements as something more than an inducement to buy.

We hope that you will peruse the exhibits, both here on the web, and in the central hall of the main library. It is our sincerest wish that you enjoy the exhibits. Afterwards, if you have a few moments, let us know what you think of the collections.
