How can textiles help us understand geography? From hand-embroidered globes stitched by schoolchildren to silk escape maps sewn into the jackets of WWI pilots, textile maps prove that cartography doesn't have to live on paper.
In this From The Vault collections showing, take a look at textile maps from the collection of all kinds—embroidered, sewn, printed, and more.
This free showing will be hosted Friday, July 17 in the Learning Center with a staff member from the Leventhal Center available to answer questions.
Registration not required. Drop by our Learning Center any time between 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm.
