Where

Culled from Special Collections' literary archives, items on display include original works written by Bradbury, works of others who influenced him, pulp sci-fi magazines, photos of Mars, and movie memorabilia.  A selection of sci-fi related toys, on loan from the private collection of local sci-fi aficionado Wolf Forrest, are also on display. 

The exhibit is guest curated by local educator and author Gloria McMillan, whose edited work, Orbiting Ray Bradbury's Mars: Biographical, Anthropological, Literary, Scientific and Other Perspectives, was aimed to present a "kaleidoscopic view" of Bradbury, and his work, through the academic lenses of anthropology, literature, science, media, and education.
