Map Festival in Baltimore
The trip to Baltimore was amazing!
The exhibit itself was also wonderful! There were a great number of maps that I have never seen before. I especially remember maps that were draw by Da Vinci and Tolkien, map of Japan, Russian map and earlier maps of USA. The other one which I liked the best was the map of characters from kid’s stories. I wish I had this map when I was a kid! It was so different and colorful!
Luckily, we also had some time to walk around the museum. The museum was very big, we could not see all of them. But we got a chance to see some pieces of art, icons and, of course, globes. I posted pictures of them, for people who did not get a chance to see them.
Despite the fact I enjoyed the trip and exhibit, I really expected it would be a bigger exhibit. The exhibit consisted of only 5-6 rooms. There also was a map that was made in Flash. Since we have spent the majority of the semester working in Flash, we can really appreciate the work that was put into the map. The map represented the civil war in USA. The animation was done soo nice and smooth, it made me jealous!
The trip was a great experience and it was nice to spend more time with my geographers friends!
