What does the world look like from the perspective of a Jesuit priest doing missionary work in China in 1602? Find out by exploring a rare map that survives as an example of international collaboration between European and Chinese scholars and the earliest Chinese map to show the Americas. Presented in conjunction with the exhibition of Matteo Ricci's monumental work Map of the Ten Thousand Countries of the Earth.
