Abstract
To celebrate the bicentennial of William Smith’s pioneering geological map of England, Wales and southern Scotland in 2015, the Yorkshire Philosophical Society and the York Museums Trust commissioned a walk-on geological map installation of Yorkshire in the Museum Gardens at York. This impressive 4 x 4 m mosaic by artist Janette Ireland used geological materials to demonstrate many of the important points illustrated by Smith. Details of the map including explanatory leaflets can be found at https://www.yorkmuseumgardens.org.uk/the-mosaic-map/. This however is not the first walk-on geological map installation in the county.
