Mercator Museum

 

In January 2008 we had a "Saturday Special" to St. Niklaas to visit the Mercator Museum of map making. A very interesting tour led by our own member Christine.
The tour starts with an introduction to map making before the time of Mercator and an explanation of the different map projections. The models are on the far left of the picture.
Below: Christine talking about the original, price-less Mercator globes.
After the tour, some of us visited the famous square which is the biggest in Belgium.
