Festivities in Germany and in the United States will mark "Goethe-Year 1999" and celebrate the literature, music, and art of Germany.
The Ruth Lilly Special Collections and Archives of the IUPUI University Library provides a local perspective through the cultural activities of the Indianapolis German-American community in its new exhibit "Love of Life: German-American Culture in Indianapolis." The exhibit uses photographs, books, and publications to highlight musical societies like the Musikverein and the Indianapolis Maennerchor (the nation's oldest continuously active singing society), German-American theatre groups, art, special events such as Oktoberfest, and German-American writers like Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Included in the exhibit is a program from the 1899 celebration of Goethe's 150th birthday staged by the German-American organizations of Indianapolis.
The exhibit is on display until the end of September in the Ruth Lilly Special Collections and Archives, located in Room 0133 on the Lower Level of the IUPUI University Library.
