The Man Who Stole Einstein’s Brain

In this show, Natalie promotes the museum’s newest exhibit Genius in a Jar: Albert Einstein’s Brain in Lawrence, which shares the odd and unethical story of Dr. Thomas Harvey who stole part of Einstein’s brain. Harvey lived in Lawrence from 1988-1993 and became known nationally for showcasing the brain to family, friends, and researchers. Find out what eventually happened to Einstein’s Brain in this episode of Time Capsule!

Time Capsule with KLWN’s Joel Becker and the Watkins Museum’s Natalie Vondrak explores the history of Lawrence or Douglas County and shares the stories of the people and events that have helped shape our community. The show airs the first Tuesday of the month during Radio for Grownups around 10:10 AM on FM 101.7 or AM 1320 KLWN.
