If you’re going to D.C. this week, you have a rare opportunity to see Carl Jung’s The Red Book, which will be on view in a special exhibition, at the Library of Congress (Mon, through Sat, 8:30 to 4:30 p.m.)

In the book, Jung chronicled in words and drawings his own hallucinations during a mental breakdown. He considered The Red Book the wellspring of all his works, but it was locked away in a vault until last year when it was sent to New York for public viewing and Norton published a facsimile. It was also featured in the New York Times Magazine.

The following spread is from Norton’s catalog.
