Grand Central Mural Umbrella

The astrological mural on the ceiling of Grand Central Station's Main Concourse is now available on an umbrella (à la Tibor Kalman's Sky Umbrella). Trivia: artist Paul Helleu purposefully painted the constellations backwards after being inspired by a medieval manuscript that "showed the heavens as they would have been seen from outside the celestial sphere."
