The Hagley Museum and Library in Delaware announced what museum officials call a “path-breaking” exhibition the partnership with Tsinghua University in Beijing and the China Association for Science and Technology.
Spirit of Invention: 19th Century U.S. Patent Models of the Hagley Museum and Library showcases authentic American patent models, stories of American invention and chronicles the development of U.S. patents and intellectual property systems.
The exhibited models from the Hagley Museum and Library represent a broad spectrum of American industries, interest and inventions. The exhibit is scheduled to travel to various cities in China with a projected audience of over one million visitors. This marks the first time an American history museum has exhibited in China.
