Colleagues,
A non-profit mapping organization, PolicyMap, created this map of Philadelphia cultural sites, including murals, public art, museums. They are based in Philly,
which is why they did this map. I hope some of you will find it of interest.
Much of PolicyMap content is free, but there is also a subscription model which includes additional data and analytics.
Best wishes,
Amy

Hi Amy,
Here is the link to the CultureBlocks tool :
http://www.cultureblocks.com/wordpress/
“CultureBlocks is a free mapping tool that supports people making decisions about place and creativity in Philadelphia”.
Under the partners tab, you will see a bit about our parent TRF, The Reinvestment Fund, and a link to PolicyMap. The Explore, Profile and Match are the 3 mapping capabilities(tools) that PolicyMap created. Please do share with all of your Arts Librarian
Colleagues.
You can see examples of some of our other maps in the Google Maps Gallery:
