Exploring the Early Americas
Thursday August 6, 2009 from 8:30am - 4:30pm
Library of Congress
101 Independence Ave Se
Washington, District of Columbia 20003 Get Directions
'Exploring the Early Americas' features selections from the more than 3,000 rare maps, documents, paintings, prints, and artifacts that make up the Jay I. Kislak Collection at the Library of Congress. It provides insight into indigenous cultures, the drama of the encounters between Native Americans and European explorers and settlers, and the pivotal changes caused by the meeting of the American and European worlds. The exhibition includes two extraordinary maps by Martin Waldseemuller created in 1507 and 1516, which depict a world enlarged by the presence of the Western Hemisphere.
