The Miami International Map Fair

Presented by HistoryMiami. February 2 and 3, 2013.

Celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Miami International Map Fair. The largest map fair in the world! This annual event showcases antique maps, rare books, panoramas and atlases from around the world. Peruse and purchase antique maps from some of the finest map dealers in the world. Learn about cartography through a series of lectures by experts in the field and enjoy special events held throughout the weekend.

In 2013, the Miami International Map Fair is pleased to be part of Viva Florida 500, a statewide initiative to commemorate a significant milestone in our state’s history – the 500th anniversary of the arrival of Juan Ponce de Leὀn to La Florida in 1513. Select lectures offered during Map Fair weekend will explore Florida’s rich history and diverse cultural heritage.

Daily Admission is $5 for HistoryMiami Members and $15 for Non-Members. Tickets may be purchased at the door. Admission includes entrance to the international dealer’s marketplace, access to expert opinions on your own map(s) and the opportunity to win door prizes. Proceeds from the Map Fair support exhibitions, educational programs and community outreach efforts at HistoryMiami.
