Travellers' Tales
Heritage Open Day: An exploration of new lands, new people and new flora and fauna. From the men who mistook a whale for an island to students searching for Siberian ibex, this exhibition will examine the ways in which explorers reacted to the novel environments they encountered. Items will include a recently discovered Elizabethan image of an iceberg, John White's depiction of Powhatan Indian ritual, the account of a Sidney Fellow who accidentally circumnavigated the globe, the botanist who employed monkeys as his research assistants, and the student who settled in a remote part of Colombia.
