Welcome

Outbreak: Epidemics in a Connected World was a 4,250-square-foot temporary exhibition created by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) in Washington, D.C. The three-year exhibition, which marked the 100th anniversary of the devastating 1918 influenza pandemic, was open to the public from May 2018 until May 2021.

The exhibition on display at Georgia Southern University offers a condensed version of Outbreak Exhibition and invites you to join epidemiologists, veterinarians, public health workers, and citizens as they rush to identify and respond to infectious diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, Ebola virus, influenza, Zika virus, and others.
