Dear colleagues,

Please allow me to draw your attention to Maps Unfolded: an exhibition of maps and atlases at the Allard Pierson, where we take care of the heritage collections of the University of Amsterdam. The exhibition takes the visitor through seven centuries of maps and atlases, dating from 15th-century drawings to the maps of the future. The exhibition starts in Amsterdam with a unique big city plan from 1625 full of small details, and zooms out, via the Netherlands and Europe, to encompass the whole world. Special attention is given to maps of the former Dutch East Indies, Suriname and the Antilles.

Cf Maps Unfolded – Allard Pierson

Hope to see you in Amsterdam, kind regards,

Reinder
