Professor Liliane Weissberg's Exhibit on Enlightenment Featured in Omnia

""

Omnia, the Penn Arts & Sciences magazine, published "Three Questions: On Enlightenment" about Professor Weissberg's recently opened exibit, “What is Enlightenment? Questions for the 18th Century,” which runs at Berlin’s German Historical Museum through April 6, 2025. The article quotes Professor Weissberg describing her intention behind the curation: "I wanted to look critically at the Enlightenment and show that a lot of the problems and issues we have today are actually rooted in discussions that happened back then.”
