MAPS AS ART: YEA OR NAY?

I frequently frame maps and use them as art.  For me, art doesn't always have to be an oil stretched on to canvas or a print matted, framed and hung on a wall.  I like to call it un art.  

Originally, this map was in my living room.  I moved it to the dining room after our kitchen renovation.

Originally this art was in the living room.  When we renovated the kitchen I moved it to the dining room.

Of course I like the map because it's black and white.

The frame is pretty wonderful too.  It's vintage and I was so happy when I realized the map would fit in it.   Hoarding sometimes pays off.  I had it in waiting for years.

I've also written about un art before.  If you'd like to see that post, go here.

What do you use as un art?
