Map Exhibit Reception - The Art of Cartography: Historical Maps for Modern Inquiry In-Person
The Art of Cartography: Historical Maps for Modern Inquiry - Presented by Vanderbilt University Libraries' GIS Lab in collaboration with Special Collections and University Archives with support from The Curb Center for Art, Enterprise & Public Policy.
Join us during Geography Awareness Week and GIS Day for a series of events that highlight the artistry and significance of historical maps! Step back in time with maps dating from the 17th century! This reception gathers all the maps on display from our roaming exhibit throughout the campus libraries, including depictions of Native lands in Tennessee, maps of Havana, Paris, and the renowned Blaeu maps (donated from The Collection of Stephen and Carina Bruce). Held at Peabody Library, the reception will include drinks, snacks, and an overview of the exhibit delving into the art of cartography.
