New York State Pavilion 44 Texaco Road Map Conservation & Stabilization
A 130 Foot by 166 foot terrazzo replica of the Texaco Road Map. In 2008 University of Pennsylvania Graduate Program in Historic Preservation conserved four panels, which became part of an exhibition held at the Queens Museum. In early 2010, Parks stabilized the remaining tiles with a sand, Typar barrier fabric, and gravel cover to prevent further deterioration. This is based on a method used to preserve ancient mosaics.
