about

The Map Men have selected what they believe to be some of the very best wrong maps. Some of them are decades old, some are centuries old and some are so recent they’re being published today (or yesterday, if you’re reading this tomorrow).

So, ditch the compass (or disable location services) and set out on a journey into a world of cartographic chaos and mappy mishaps. Because the worst maps are the best maps.

Maps & Memories is made possible by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, thanks to National Lottery players and a joint partnership between NI Science Festival, Queen’s University Belfast, Ordnance Survey NI, Historic Environment Division and the National Trust.
