Reinder shared this pic from his visit to the van Eesteren Pavilion at a museum in Amsterdam dedicated to the Dutch architect Van Eesteren (1897-1988). Looks like someone is getting “hands on”

David Sherren said “I spotted this rather attractive office window in the Borgo San Jacopo, Florence, promoting a collection of hotels. As a bonus, there were some nice maps for sale at the print dealer next door.” I’m a bit confused by some of the writing being on the inside […]
Joe shared this from his visit to the old City Hall in London “he map room in the lowest floor of the old city hall was pretty big”
Harry shared this map that he spotted on his holiday in Brazil “I also saw this nice wall in a restaurant on Ilhabella which maybe scores better on the “maps as art” criteria.” I like the way that the land is cut out of the plaster exposing the brick.
Edwin Wisze shared this “A few of the meeting rooms during the Logius PI planning have a beautiful map as a carpet. Here are a few examples: New York and The Hague” I love maps you can walk on, feels like the right scale for me. Which is your favourite?

Raf shared this, he said “Neck warmer handed out to participants at the 2024 Eutiches OnRoad motorbike rideout has a contour line vibe” This looks like fun if you are a motorbike owner.

Rebecca Seifried shared this. “One of the rare murals in my humble town, adorning a wall outside the Balkan Lounge bar. Obviously not to scale, and with absolutely baffling 3D effects, I still find it charming #MapsintheWild. I feel duty-bound to commemorate it because the bar recently changed ownership – […]
