We had an awesome time in NYC. The blog will be filled with our experiences for weeks to come. One lucky surprise was stumbling upon the Mapping New York’s Shoreline exhibit at the big, old, beautiful, NY Public Library. The library is worth a trip by itself, but this exhibit was the icing on the cake.
We have recently been reviewing and researching cartographers, which helped me appreciate this even more. The maps were graphically stunning and the evolution of style and precision over the years was fascinating. The exhibition itself was excellent. The blue and green walls with various cutouts made the space dimensional and interesting while complimenting the subject matter. Tip top notch. Go see it if you can, it closes on June 26, 2010.
