Artium Center in Nesebar will host a cartographic exhibition

Artium Center in Nesebar will host a cartographic exhibition emphasizing the importance of the Black Sea in European development. The presence of the region on geographical maps from antiquity to the present day reflects changes and trends in cartography, and is evidence of the importance of the Black Sea coast to the continent over the centuries.

The exposition, which is presented within the framework of the "Black Sea Archaeological, Historical and Cultural Portal" project, consists of 30 panels, the first of which is a map of the Black Sea by Ortelius from 1590. The second panel is introductory and is dedicated to the names, with which has been called the sea over the centuries. It is illustrated with a map by Nicolas de Fer from 1705. Panels numbered 3 to 30 present the chronological development of cartographic representations of the Black Sea from the oldest preserved cartographic artifacts to the present day with explanatory texts and illustrated material. The maps presented are reproductions of originals.

The exhibition is an activity on the sustainability of the already completed project BSB867 "Black Sea Archaeological, Historical and Cultural Portal" (ARHICUP), which the municipality of Nesebar implemented in partnership with the National History Museum of the Republic of Moldova and the Museum of National History and Archeology in Constanta, Romania. 

The exhibition can be visited every day from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the lobby of the Artium Center in Nesebar from July 10 to July 20.
