La Jolla’s Map and Atlas Museum…A Rare Find

La Jolla brings to mind sandy beaches, beautiful sunsets, great shopping, wave skimming armadas of pelicans, and endless views of the Pacific Ocean. I don’t necessarily think of museums or old maps when I head to La Jolla.

But, if you’re looking for something out of the ordinary, how about the Map and Atlas Museum? Not your ordinary museum, this one offers an appreciation and awareness for the geography, history, politics, and beauty of antique collectible maps and atlases.

I was impressed by the maps detailing the world…from centuries ago. Many of the old drawings were so close to what is reality today. This is a rare find. And, not one you’d probably expect in La Jolla.

Next time you’re here…stop in.
