“learn more about geography and history”

The Museum’s goal is to create an awareness and appreciation for the geography, history, politics, and artistic beauty of antique collectible maps and atlases. We are confident you will find a new appreciation for these splendid works of intellect and creativity which inform us so richly about the history of our world and those who explored and mapped it. We are particularly interested in educational opportunities for San Diegans. After seeing the exhibits, if you know of groups that might be interested in visiting, please have them contact us to schedule a guided tour. We also have a growing range of activities for school-aged young people. Enjoy your visit.
