Special Collections Exhibit Celebrates "Wonderland" Sesquicentennial

Events and Exhibitions

A new exhibit in USC's Doheny Memorial Library celebrates the 150th anniversary of Lewis Carroll’s "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland." Oxford mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (pen name Lewis Carroll) first published the iconic novel in 1865. It has since been retold in over 125 languages and adapted for film, stage, fine art, and other media. The exhibit showcases various adaptations of the novel, as well as original handwritten manuscripts and art from the original print edition. Stop by the Special Collections display case on Doheny Library's second floor to follow Carroll’s journey to "Wonderland."
