On March 25 and April 10, 2025, two excursions were held for students of the History of World Cartography course. During the first excursion, the students learned something about the history, services, and fund of the Map Collection. They viewed copies of the oldest maps of our country and reproductions of old maps of important European cartographic schools. During the second visit, the participants had the opportunity to admire rare originals of old prints, maps, and especially atlases.
