Now through April 15 at the Museum of the City of New York (a customer of Historic Urban Plans) is an exhibit celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Commissioners’ Plan of 1811, the foundational document that established Manhattan’s famous street grid. The Greatest Grid traces the enduring influence of the 1811 plan as the grid has become a defining feature of the city, shaping its institutions and public life. The city's founding over a century earlier as a fort (Fort George) and port can be seen in the 18th century Montressor and Ratzer plans, available from Historic Urban Plans (see the catalog).

Opening at the Cincinnati Museum Center/Union Station is the exhibit "A Day in Pompeii". The Roman city of Pompeii was frozen in time by the catastrophic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D. Pompeii's archeological treasures rarely leave Italy and this is the first time they'll be displayed in this part of the United States. Room-sized frescos, marble and bronze sculptures, jewelry, gold coins, and other priceless ancient artifacts are on display, along with body casts of the volcano's victims. Historic Urban Plans provided CMC's museum shop with Francesco Piranesi's 1785 plan of Pompeii, which recorded the earliest archeological work done at this famous site.
