Magical Monstrous Maps

It’s the perfect time of year to go looking for monsters on maps! Visit Clark Library’s Third Thursday exhibit to enjoy a selection of some of our favorites, from Dutch Golden Age sea creatures to contemporary artists’ depictions of classic literary monsters.

Join us (on the 2nd floor of Hatcher) for Third Thursdays at the Library, a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections. While you’re here, pick up a passport and collect a stamp from each of the four Third Thursday Open Houses — Asia Library, Clark Library, International Studies, and Special Collections Research Center — to win a poster.
