One hundred years ago, the October Revolution initiated a social and political experiment that unleashed waves of hope, optimism, angst, and horror across the globe. The initial excitement of artists and intellectuals eager for a new world turned to despair as the realities of a new form of tyranny became manifest.

“Revolution!” draws on Rauner Special Collections Library’s rich collections to show how the products of the Russian Revolution expressed the varied reactions to the rise of communism.

The exhibit was curated by Jay Satterfield and Wendel Cox and will be on display in the Class of 1965 Galleries from September 19th through November 10th, 2017. To learn more about the exhibit, visit its webpage: https://www.dartmouth.edu/~library/rauner/exhibits/revolution.html.
