Walters Museum: Map Exhibit

Two weekends ago I went on a Sat. to the Walter's Museum with GMU's Geography Department. The above photo is a really large tile mosaic. No photos were allowed inside the exhibit so I took this one, which was just outside the exhibit. I really enjoyed the FREE map exhibit. One quote on the wall that puts the whole exhibit into words went like this:

"There only is one planet Earth, but this room [speaking of the exhibit] makes plain how many ways there are to look at it. In mapping the world, each culture has its own center, its own idea of what is up, and its own conception of what is important."
