From the subjective to the objective, the personal to the scientific and even fictional, maps help us explore places and cultures, past and present, from the local to the far reaches of space. In Maps: An Experience in Finding Our Way, art, science, history, and geography come together representing a way across the universe of place, distance, and experience.
The exhibition is a campus and community collaborative effort curated by Rhonda Yeager, Bobbie Zapor, and Laura Krulikowski with support from the University Museum Board of Directors and features maps, artifacts, and art on loan from the Historical and Genealogical Society of Indiana County, IUP Department of Art and Design, IUP Department of Geoscience, the Institute for Mine Mapping, Archival Procedures, and Safety (IMAPS), IUP Libraries Special Collections and University Archives, and artists Jacob Wareham and Chuck Olsen in addition to pieces from the University Museum's collection.
