Join our visitor experience team for a drop-in session where you can explore a selection of unique maps from our collection.
We’ll be showing you different types of maps, from historic maps to star maps and even a map that shows thought processes.
You'll have the chance to discuss the maps with staff as we think about the ways the information contained within them has been selected, interpreted and represented.
We’ll be in the Viewing Room. It’s next to the Library entrance on level 2, which you can reach by taking the lift or the stairs.
Just turn up to this event. It's likely to have room for everyone.
Key visual elements referred to during this event will be described.
This is a relaxed event, which means that if you need to, you are welcome to move around and make noise at any time.
