Exhibition: From Frog Embryos to the Chart of Dentistry: Wall Charts from Carleton?s Collections December 19, 2005

?From Frog Embryos to the Chart of Dentistry: Wall Charts from Carleton?s Collections? includes a selection of antique educational wall charts discovered in the biology department?s storeroom. Wall charts were a common visual aid in science classrooms from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century. Large and often beautifully illustrated, these charts made it possible for an entire class to examine an illustration of a frog?s anatomy or identify types of bees. The exhibition runs from December 21, 2005 through April 1, 2006.
