Open now, Secret Maps reveals the stories hidden in some of history’s most mysterious maps.
Some of the maps on display reveal hidden landscapes, offering insight into places long forgotten or erased from official histories. Others are purposefully deceptive, designed to protect treasures, mask strategic locations, or reshape the way we see the world. This exhibition uncovers each of their individual secrets, revealing their hidden purposes and power.
The exhibition is supported by Wayland Games ( https://britishlibraryemails.bl.uk/c/AQiz6A8QvI6DARjpn7sFIOHClB6hTsRa-SC3JXfTZfyoCHZLEoZwDMp_-EfF_UQtn3cHPA ) and Tony & Maureen Wheeler.
