Mapping the Self is part of the citywide Festival of Maps, which opened at the Field Museum on November 2, 2007 and includes more than 25 cultural and scientific institutions. Coordinated by a committee of leading experts and collectors of historical maps, globes, and atlases, the Festival of Maps explores how societies discover, interpret, and record their physical, political, psychological, and virtual worlds through maps, globes, artifacts, and artworks from ancient to contemporary times.
