Slaughterhouse-50th Anniversary
The Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library thinks Vonnegut’s imagination is worth sharing with a new generation. That’s why, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the release of Kurt Vonnegut’s masterpiece, we are undertaking one of the boldest programmatic efforts in our history.
Night of Vonnegut
The 10th annual Night of Vonnegut, presented by Wabash College, will be a celebration like never before. Dress in your best 1969 throwback attire as we celebrate 50 years since the publishing of Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five! Join us as Salman Rushdie, author of The Satanic Verses, gives this year’s keynote address.
In Case You Missed It: Another Screening of Our Mickey Maurer Film!
We’re presenting another showing of My Friend Mickey: Common Decency and the American Dream. Following the film, enjoy a discussion between the film’s subject, Mickey Maurer, and Julia Whitehead, our CEO and director of the film.
At the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library, we spend a lot of time celebrating—celebrating Vonnegut himself, writers, artists, veterans, books, continued learning, and common decency.
