Map, How Do You Get Out of Paris?

This object is not part of the Cooper Hewitt's permanent collection. It has been able to spend time at the museum on loan from Smithsonian Libraries and Archives.

This map, found between pages of a Paris travel diary, identifies how to travel out of Paris. “Outlets of Paris” was intended to define the major routes by which to exit the city and eliminate “complete disorder” with respect to automobile drivers and cyclists, so that “every mode of transportation adopts the route that is proper to it.”
