Postmarks and Paperbacks October Meeting

One-Time Events Join staff from the Smithsonian National Postal Museum for a discussion of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Swiss student Victor Frankenstein uncovers the secret to bringing life to what is lifeless, and in assembling body parts to create a monster, ultimately sets the stage for his own destruction and that of everything that he loves when the monster is rejected by society. Told through letters, this story focuses on a young scientist who created life but was horrified by what he had made. If you have any accessibility requirements to participate in the program, please email NPMprograms@si.edu and we will do everything we can to meet your needs. A Zoom link will be emailed to participants prior to the program. Registration is required. Event Location: Online. Cost: Free.
