Single-exhibit exhibition "Denmark Reborn in Maps"

Celebrating the 35th anniversary of friendship with Denmark, we invite you to an exclusive single-exhibit exhibition "Denmark Reborn in Maps" as part of the "Year with Denmark" event series.

"Atlas minor" ("Small Atlas") is one of the most important early European atlases, prepared based on the works of the famous cartographer Gerardus Mercator (1512–1594) and expanded and adapted for a wider audience by Jodocus Hondius (1563–1612) in 1609.

This publication introduced a smaller, more convenient atlas that was more accessible not only to scholars but also to a wider circle of readers. It presents detailed maps of Europe, reflecting the geographical and political knowledge of that time.

In the atlas, one can also see a detailed map of Denmark during the country's golden age, which you can view at the single-exhibit exhibition.

Visitors will be able to view the exhibit from August 3 to August 30.
