Past exhibition at london transport museum Mind the map: this exhibition drew on the existing map collection to explore the themes of journeys, identity and publicity.
It was the largest exhibition of its kind and included new works from Stephen Walter (please se below) Susan Stockwell, Jeremy Wood, Claire Brewster and many more.
The display explored geographical, diagrammatical an decorative transport maps. It explored the influence of the icon London underground map on cartography and the public imagination. These maps have shaped the city and influenced th rest of the world.
The exhibition explored the impact maps have on our understanding of London and how it influences the way we navigate and interact with our surroundings.
A book supporting the exhibition is still available:
London Underground Maps: Inspiring Art, Design and Cartography.
