Maphead Heaven is real. The David Rumsey Map Center houses 250,000+ physical maps and a wall-sized touchscreen layered with centuries of georeferenced cartography. Student curator Champ Turner leads this tour through how globe projections have shaped our understanding of power and fear across the 20th century.
