Tartary from Marco Polo to the Enlightenment: Guided Map Exhibition Tour at HKUST

Julian Stargardt
Friday, 31 Mar 2023
2.00pm-4.00pm
The Hong Kong Chiu Chow Chamber of Commerce Ko Pui Shuen Gallery of HKUST

Julian Stargardt, RGS-HK Honorary Secretary, leads a tour of this fine exhibition of rare maps from the Library Special Collections, including the rare opportunity to see maps not on public display.  These maps offer stunning visions of China and Central Asia as it evolved over three hundred years of European cartography, from the 15th to 18th centuries, from maps based more on fantasy than fact with fabulous monsters, to maps so precise they can be hardly improved upon by modern GIS.
