The UB was going crazy over this one, wishing I could

Covarrubias Mural Now on View at the de Young
The Fauna and Flora of the Pacific restored and displayed for the first time in San Francisco since 2001
San Francisco—The Fauna and Flora of the Pacific, one of a six-part series of fanciful, larger-than-life-size maps created by noted Mexican artist Miguel Covarrubias for the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay, has been restored and put on display in the Art of the Americas galleries at the de Young. The map will be on view through spring 2009. Two lectures by noted Covarrubias scholars will be presented as part of “Friday Nights at the de Young” on July 18 and August 1, 2008.
