Unusual exhibition devoted to miniature maps of Malta
September 11. < http://www.independent.com.mt/news.asp?newsitemid=93809 >
'Unique exhibition of Miniature Maps' (by Chiara Bonello in the Malta
Independent Online).
Describing 'the launch of an exhibition of a collection of more than
90 miniature maps and 19 books, depicting plans of Malta and Valletta, and
which will be on display at the Ministry for Gozo, will be held on 12
September. The exhibition, which is the brainchild of Heritage Malta, is
being organised in collaboration with the Ministry for Gozo. It will be a
unique opportunity for the public to get a closer look at these maps,
measuring no more than 10 by 15 centimetres, of Malta and Gozo, and plans
for Valletta and the Three Cities.'
As expected, most of the material comes from the Albert Ganado Map
Collection. The free exhibition will continue at the Ministry for Gozo in
Rabat until 11 October. 'A catalogue complied by Dr Albert Ganado, published
by Midsea Books will be available for sale.'
