This experimental map was compiled by Allen Carroll (program manager, ArcGIS online content) to demonstrate the concept of "map-enabling" artwork in the collection of the National Gallery of Art. Many of the works of art in the Museum's collection portray a specific place or include location information in their titles. Locating works of art on a map gives enthusiasts a new way of searching and discovering works of art, and encourages thinking in fresh ways about the relationship between geography and creativity, location and inspiration. Clicking on icons causes a popup to appear; clicking in turn on the image within the popup accesses descriptive pages on the National Gallery's website.
