The AGSL often displays materials from its holdings. These exhibits usually follow some theme, and can include a variety of materials such as maps, charts, atlases, photographs, realia, etc. They are on display within the AGSL on the third floor, East wing of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Library.
Current Exhibit in the AGSL:
Whose North is it Anyway?
This exhibit displays maps that defy cartographic convention. Whether for aesthetics, religion, nationalism, or perspective, this exhibit highlights different styles of map facing every direction on the compass.
A digital version of the AGSL’s exhibit is available here.
