Map Monsters and Creepy Curiosities
Map Monsters and Creepy Curiosities
Join us at our headquarters and the New World Cartographic antique map gallery for what will surely be the most creepy cartographic event in town! We will begin with a brief talk on the origins of monsters in maps, scenes of cannibalism, exotic curiosities, and disturbing imagery that found its way into cartographic works over the five centuries.
After the talk, we will unveil our collection of creepy maps, many of which will have been featured in the talk. Attendees will have ample time and opportunity to view and purchase these maps as well as hundreds of other works housed in the gallery of New World Cartographic, while enjoying some blood wine, seasonal craft beer and hors d’oeuvres.
Ticket includes a brief lecture, complimentary wine, beers, and festive hors d’oeuvres and hours of map viewing and purchasing opportunities. All net proceeds go to benefit the efforts of the History in Your Hands Foundation. Space is limited, so get your tickets while they are still available!
YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ACTUAL HARD TICKETS. YOUR NAME AND EMAIL WILL BE ADDED TO A LIST THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE UPON ENTRY.
