In 1995, the exhibition "Out of This World: The Golden Age of the Celestial Atlas" opened at the Linda Hall Library. In 2007, the exhibition was remounted, celebrating the print edition of the exhibition catalog. Today, the exhibition can be viewed online, where an index and an interactive table of contents give visitors a chance to see which iconic historical works made up this important exhibition.
