Wild tales of harrowing escapes, strange beasts, and amazing cultures were the ultimate explorer’s adventure; told to eager ears back home, an adventurer’s life was a fantasy for generations of regular folk. With the advent of easy air-travel and ever-expanding western culture, mysterious and unexplored lands are practically nonexistent today — the pith hats and stiff British accents replaced by tourism and cruise ships. Relive these stories in this exhibition of rare photographs and drawings from the Age of Exploration.
