'Secret Maps' exhibition @ the British Library

Come along on Sunday 26th October to visit the British Library for their new exhibition on 'Secret Maps'.

About the exhibition
The exhibition reveals the stories hidden in some of history’s most mysterious maps.

Maps have always been more than just tools for navigation – in the hand of governments, groups and individuals, maps create and control knowledge. In the exhibition, we trace the levels of power, coercion and secrecy that lie behind maps from the 14th century to the present day, and uncover the invisible forces that draw and distort the world around us.

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.

The visit is self-guiding and lasts about 1h 30mins.
