Below are the maps from the “Unconventional Maps” exhibition. The two earliest maps, dated from the mid-1500s, portray an upside-down Africa and a Jerusalem-centered world divided into three continents. Also represented are elaborately decorated 17th-century world maps, classic 19th century bird’s eye views, as well as more contemporary educational, cartoon, propaganda, pictorial and journalistic maps.
