LES SEYCHELLES: VOYAGE DANS L'HISTOIRE DES CARTES (1482-1830)

The National Library opened its doors to the ‘Seychelles: Journey into the History of Maps 1482-1830’, an exhibition showcasing the evolution of map-making and the archipelago's place in global exploration.

The exhibition enables the creation of other maritime museums in Seychelles. “Museums are major players in social and economic development,” he stated adding the project is extremely important for an island country like Seychelles as it could develop and become a regional maritime museum.
