Converting Normal Distribution to Lognormal distribution - python-3.x

Question

I have been following lectures of MIT open course on Application of Mathematics in Finance. I am trying to code out the concepts for better understanding.
According to lectures(from what I understand), if random variable X is normally distributed then exp(X) is log-normally distributed and vice versa (please correct me if I am wrong here).
Here is what I tried:
I have list of integers that are normally distributed:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from math import sqrt
X = np.array(l)
mu = np.mean(X)
sigma = np.std(X)
count, bins, ignored = plt.hist(X, 35, density=True)
plt.plot(bins, 1/(sigma * np.sqrt(2 * np.pi)) * np.exp( - (bins - mu)**2 / (2 * sigma**2)
),linewidth=2, color='r')
plt.show()
Output:
Normally distributed curve
Now I want to get log-normal distribution from above data, here is what I have tried:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from math import sqrt
X = np.array(l)
ln = []
for x in X:
val = np.e**x
ln.append(val)
X_ln = np.array(ln)
X_ln = np.array(X_ln) / np.min(X_ln)
mu = np.mean(X_ln)
sigma = np.std(X_ln)
count, bins, ignored = plt.hist(X_ln, 10, density=True)
x = np.linspace(min(bins), max(bins), 10000)
pdf = (np.exp(-(np.log(x) - mu)**2 / (2 * sigma**2)) / (x * sigma * np.sqrt(2 * np.pi)))
plt.plot(x, pdf, color='r', linewidth=2)
plt.show()
Output :
Not so clean Output
I know there is a better way to do this, but I can't figure out how. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Here are couple of references:

MIT lecture notes(topic-1.1)
In case this is relevant, here is a list of elements I am trying to process:
List of elements
Update 1:
I have normalized X before adding values to ln. This fixed the distribution of histogram, however, I can't seem to fix to get red line to show log-normal distribution. Also the new histogram distribution is not very different from normal distribution. I can't think of any suitable reason for that.
This is the block of code I have added:
def normalize(v):
norm=np.linalg.norm(v, ord=1)
if norm==0:
norm=np.finfo(v.dtype).eps
return v/norm
X = np.array(l)
X = normalize(X)
New Output:
Slightly better result
