Jay Walker’s Library of Human Imagination
The Library of Human Imagination
Fun Friday brain fodder: TEDMED’s curator, Jay Walker, talks to Discovery.com in the ”Curiosity” video series about the origins of his fantastical collection of some of mankind’s greatest innovations, the Library of Human Imagination. The Library celebrates humanity’s grand adventure of discovery, learning, and creativity, with objects from an original 1957 Sputnik to a 1699 atlas containing the first maps to show the sun, not the earth, as the center of the known universe. ”This map, by far the most important map in history, divides the Age of Faith from the Age of Reason,” Jay says.
