Collection viewing: Journeys — fact or fiction?

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.
