Globes: Visions of the World uses remarkable works of cartography, art, science and technology to tell the fascinating story of how humanity has understood our planet and the cosmos across two and a half millennia. This work, in English, French and Arabic, has been published to accompany the second temporary exhibition at the new Louvre Abu Dhabi. It seeks to recreate the links between this long search for knowledge and today’s science and comprehension by paying tribute to the visionary scholars whose goal was to model – in spheres, circles and ellipses – our fascinating cosmos. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Globes: visions of the world, organised by Louvre Abu Dhabi, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France and Agence France-Muséums, held at Louvre Abu Dhabi from 23 March to 2 June 2018 and at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France during Spring 2019
