Map-fair.com updates you about the Amsterdam and Paris, London, and Mantova Map Fairs. In addition, you will find here the MAP-MART virtual map fair where selected map sellers offer maps, charts, globes and atlases for sales.
We are passionate about old maps and think personal contact between collectors, dealers, and novices is essential. Now that COVID-19 is behind us, we can again freely visit fairs and have the option to physically examine and discuss a map before purchasing.
Combining a map fair with a visit to a world-renowned city like Amsterdam, Paris, London, or perhaps lesser-known places like Mantova or Lyon makes it even more enjoyable.
We hope the information on www.map-fair.com can help you find your way on the map.
