- Wednesday 7 October from 11am to 1pm
Prepare to be amazed and amused at our next collection viewing. Library experts will take you on a journey across land, sea and sky. But did it really happen?
Our journeys are represented through pictures and pop-up books, manuscripts and imaginary maps from all corners of the collection. You'll see the Library's largest atlas, and view our latest acquisition: a first edition of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince. You'll also travel across the Pacific with Pedro Fernández de Quirós in search of gold and the Great South Land.
This is a drop-in event, no bookings required.
