Voltaire’s Candide : Online Exhibitions.
Comprehensive exhibition site… seemingly developed in Drupal btw.
On the Road with Candide uses The New York Public Library?s on-site exhibition Candide at 250: Scandal and Success as a jumping-off point for a unique online journey ? inviting the involvement of students, scholars, artists, and more. Check out a new kind of pick-and-choose visual storytelling, plus a “Candide Journey” project created in Google Maps by Brooklyn 10th graders. One of the first journeys you can choose takes you through the great American illustrator Rockwell Kent’s edition of Candide from 1928 (the first book published under the Random House imprint). See how the Internet helps bring to life this 250-year-old text, with all its raciness, for today?s audiences.
