Global Collections Exhibition
The 2010–2011 exhibition “Global Collections at the University of Virginia Library: Engaging the World” follows world travelers, including diplomats, artists, and missionaries, whose immersion in other cultures led to fascinating art, books, photographs, and music. The exhibit features rare and lesser-known items from special collections, such as a 1930s diplomatic pass to the Kremlin belonging to Scottish adventurer Sir Fitzroy Maclean (1911–1996), one of the possible prototypes for Ian Fleming’s James Bond (pictured above).
