Europe Since 1600

Europe since 1600 explores a wide range of topics from European visual and literary culture, to the evolution of European scientific thought, and, finally, to a twentieth century Europe amid World Wars and social change. 

This exhibit was co-curated Cooper Campisi, Jacob Christ, Theo Hussen, Abigail Lowe, Ren O'Brien, Finn McMurray, Jonathan Ro, Kelly Vandekoppel, Xinyi Wan, Macayla Wells, and Yujie Xiang, as part of HIST 1012, Europe Since 1600, the University of Colorado Boulder.  The course was taught and exhibit curation led by Dr. Susan Guinn-Chipman. 

The exhibit text for each piece displayed in this exhibit is the result of the students' object-based learning, with in-person analyses and close readings of original, rare primary source materials held by the Rare Books and the Map Collections, Rare and Distinctive Collections (RaD), University of Colorado Boulder Libraries and by the CU Art Museum (CUAM) in class sessions held over the course of the Spring Semester of 2022.

Special thanks are due to the Rare Books and Map Collections, Rare and Distinctive Collections, University of Colorado Boulder Libraries and the CU Art Museum, with gratitude to Dr. Hope Saska and Maggie Mazzullo.
