Subject: [MAPS-L] Old maps exhibition of Holy Land / Palestine

 

  

Hi, 

To all that can come to Israel/West Bank from 26  to 26 of June.

During the 7th  Heritage Week, that will be held on Birzet (a delicious small town close to Ramallah - Israel West Bank ), it's organized an exhibition of old maps od Palestine / Holy Land, with original maps for the XVI century to the XIX century, like  Ptolemy maps either old and news (Munster and Ruscelli), Ortelius, Cluver, Vaugondy, Sanson and others.

Togheter with the maps, it will be displayed some original drawings  from XVIII and XIX century.

 

 

If interested, feel free to get in touch with me, that will be in Birzeit on those days (for a meeting related to an European project about sustainable tourism)

 

Regards
