This web site accompanies an exhibition at the National Museum of American History exploring the process of invention. The story is told in two parallel sections comparing Thomas Edison's light bulb invention with several electric lighting inventions of a century later. Objects and graphics from both sections of the exhibition can be viewed on this site, as can the complete exhibition script. |

The process of innovation
can be considered in a sequence of five steps.
The doors above will lead you to these steps for Thomas Edison's work in the late 19th century, and for the work of lamp inventors in the late 20th century. In the Guest Lounge there are photographs, a reference library, links to interesting sites, and the scripts and lists from the physical exhibition. Enjoy your tour! |
