Curators from the National Library of Australia, Dr Martin Woods, Dr Susannah Helman and Nat Williams, tell the story of
Mapping Our World: Terra Incognita to Australia. The exhibition takes us on a journey from ancient and medieval notions of a 'great south land' to Flinders' 1814 chart of Australia. It brings together more than 100 spectacular maps, atlases, globes and scientific instruments from the collections of the National Library of Australia and from Australian and international lenders including the Vatican Library, the British Library and the Bibliothèque nationale de France.
Mapping Our World: Terra Incognita to Australia is only showing at the National Library in Canberra from 7 November 2013—10 March 2014. http://www.nla.gov.au/exhibitions/mapping-our-world
