It was rather apropos that during this, our con season, the
Museum of American History was hosting the exhibit Fantastic Worlds: Science and Fiction 1780-1910. This period was
rich in scientific advancement and discovery, inspiring writers to twist the
new knowledge into fascinating fiction. For example, the emerging sciences of
chemistry and electricity inspired Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. The exhibit discussed the influence of exploration on
land and sea, of geology and fossils, astronomy, aeronautics, industrial
mechanization, and more, on people’s imaginations. If you have a chance, check
out this terrific exhibit.
