Exhibition - Mapping Birmingham

The exhibition’s artifacts, maps of the city depicting key points in its history, offer glimpses into Birmingham’s past and its vision for the future. Maps come from Birmingham Public Library archives depict the development of the communities of Mountain Brook and Corey. Frederick Law Olmsted’s vision of a unified park system for Birmingham is depicted through a reproduction of his groundbreaking 1925 study. Visitors also encounter the latest plans for the Birmingham metro area. Vulcan Park and Museum collaborated with a host of local architecture firms and architecturally minded groups to procure designs for Park Place, SoHo, and Mt. Laurel, and to offer glimpses of yet-to-be-realized plans for Birmingham’s system of parks and neighborhoods, and for revitalized historic districts.
