The map below provides the locations of the current Voyage Communities, each with an installed Voyage exhibition, and Voyage Communities in Progress, with an exhibition currently in fabrication, or fabricated but not yet installed. The map also provides the locations of those Voyage Emerging Sites that are not yet under contract, but have submitted a formal Implementation Plan. Explore Voyage in these communities using the links below the map. Each community has a dedicated webpage with information about the lead and partner institutions, a community overview, and maps detailing the locations of the exhibition’s 13 stanchions.
