I love this idea,Jane! I almost wish my kids {or my son, at least} were younger just so I could do it in a play room or bedroom!

I bought a vintage book several years ago filled with old french maps with the intention of using them in a grouping. Every time I see something like this I think I need to go ahead and use them and then I look at the book and can't bring myself to rip out the pages!

Great idea. I think these would look great in my husband's study.

Great idea! When my son was a teenager...I covered one whole wall in his room with maps from National Geographic. It looked fab!!
