Now - Sunday, March 1

During the Renaissance, the art and science of cryptography came into its own. The advent of printing, development of diplomacy, and creation of postal systems created an obsession with encryption that produced some of the period’s most brilliant inventions, most beautiful books, and most enduring legacies. This exhibition features the best collection ever assembled of early works on codes and ciphers.
