Linus Pauling and the Twentieth
Centuryis a traveling exhibit
celebrating the life of one of the world's great scientists and peace
activists.
Linus Pauling
Linus Pauling's life spanned the twentieth century. He was
born in 1901 and died in 1994 and his achievements and struggles are
a remarkable mirror of that era.
Pauling's work earned him two Nobel Prizes: one for Chemistry
in 1954 and one for Peace in 1962. His endeavors in both areas
continue to effect and change the lives of people throughout the
world.
Created with the assistance of the Pauling Family and Oregon
State University, the Linus Pauling exhibition was developed to
expose young people to the life and work of this influential
scientist.
Since opening in San
Francisco in September 1998, the exhibit has toured multiple cities across
the US and Japan, and has been seen by more than a million people.
Currently in Europe for 2003, the Linus Pauling exhibit was shown
in Paris and Geneva during the spring, recently appeared in Turin, Italy,
and will continue to tour during the year with additional dates in Italy
to be announced.
Linus Pauling and the Twentieth Century :
Quest for Humanity is sponsored
by the Pauling Family, Oregon State University and Soka Gakkai
International.
