MCC World Maps Gallery

Information related to MCC's new World Maps Gallery, installed throughout the Brighton campus.

About MCC's Maps Gallery

A permanent gallery of 16 world maps showcasing aspects of human geography and physical geography was installed in the fall of 2016 throughout the Brighton Campus. As in an art gallery or museum, the maps will have a display label explaining the map as well as a QR Code that students can scan with their smart phone, tablet, or laptop to get additional information and ways to interact. 

MCC’s Maps Gallery is a joint collaboration between MCC’s Geography program and Global Education and International Services. Funding for the Maps Gallery came from MCC’s Strategic Planning Initiative Grant.
