Where Is Home? January 8, 2011

Throughout its 100 year history NYPL's Main Building has hosted scholars, students, and tourist from all walks of life and every nation on earth. In celebration of the building's centennial the Lionel Pinkus and Princess Firyal Map Division is exhibiting 'Where Is Home?' an interactive cartographic exhibit whereby participants help create a visual representation of the places of origin -- "hometowns" -- of library visitors by placing a map pin into one or more antiquarian map facsimiles.
