Six maps of Map Collection were restored

Six old maps, which are part of the recent donation made by Mrs. Helga Serrano Miksch, underwent extensive restoration that was carried out by Mrs. Jana Tomšů. Among them are valuable maps of Czech districts by Jan Kryštof Müller, Seutter’s map of Austria or Mercator’s map of Livonia.
