The Revitalist

From "Mapping Manifest Destiny: Chicago and the American West" at the Newberry Library, Nov 3, 2007 - Feb 16, 2008

... add the Festival of Maps to your list of cultural activities (via Where). Over 25 museums, cultural and scientific institutions are participating, from The Field Museum to the University of Chicago to the Chicago Botanic Garden. Events range from exhibitions of map collections to tours and symposiums, all focused on mankind's exploration of the Earth and  how we translate that quest into visual information. Looks like there is some very cool stuff! Events run from November 2007 into 2008.
