Stop by the American Geographical Society Library on the third floor in the east wing of the Golda Meir Library to explore its latest exhibit You Are Here<\/em>.<\/p>\n

You Are Here<\/i> explores the unique relationship between regional and global transit maps and the socio-cultural identity of their subjects. Transit maps can be utilitarian, functioning as navigational tools, but they can also be aspirational, signs of cities and nations attempting to shift perceptions of their identity. The individual maps in this exhibition serve as a window into the histories of the places they represent as well as the history of transit cartography as a whole. With a wider view, the evolution of transit maps demonstrates how a transportation system can become synonymous with a city or nation\u2019s identity, reflecting its change over time, spearheading cartographic innovations, or reifying an entirely new vision for space and place.<\/p>\n

You Are Here<\/em> is on view until February 2027. The AGSL is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
