Two new exhibits about Albert Einstein on Google Cultural Institute

The Einstein cultural exhibit gives us a splendid glimpse into rare documents and images that tell not only the story of Einstein's extraordinary voyage to publicize relativity in Japan in 1922, and to lay the cornerstone of the Hebrew University in Palestine in 1923, but also the dramatic trajectory of his entire life, illustrated by his colorful passports that bear testimony to the vagaries of his personal life. – Prof. Diana K. Buchwald, Einstein Papers Project, California Institute of Technology

The new online exhibit presents some of the highlights from Albert Einstein's tour of Taisho-era Japan in November-December 1922 and to Palestine during the British Mandate in February 1923. Highlights of the exhibition include brief descriptions of Einstein's extensive itinerary, numerous photos of the illustrious guest with local dignitaries and colleagues, a rendition of one of the most important lectures Einstein held in Japan and an excerpt from his travel diary on his impressions of Jerusalem.  - Dr. Ze'ev Rosenkranz, The Einstein Papers Project, California Institute of Technology, Curator "Einstein's Trip to the Far East and Palestine" [PDF Article]
