Scheduled to coincide with /Maps: Finding Our Place in the World/, this focus show will present images of the universe taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, at Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, on view from February 2 to July 27, 2008.
Hubble images have been instrumental in discovering new facts about the cosmos and in tracking its evolutionary history over billions of years. These panoramas of time and space are “maps” of scientific data, but they are also aesthetic objects of striking power and beauty.
/Mapping the Cosmos: Images from the Hubble Space Telescope /is organized by the Walters Art Museum, the Space Telescope Science Institute, and The Krieger School of Arts and Sciences of The Johns Hopkins University. This exhibition is the first joint venture with The Johns Hopkins University’s Program in Museums and Society. -- www.thewalters.org
