In commemoration of the 500 years after the First Circumnavigation of the planet (1519-1522)
The Embassy of Chile in Finland in cooperation with Entresse Library, has the pleasure of inviting you to visit the exhibition " Encounter between Three Worlds”, prepared by the National Library of Chile.
For Chile, this trip has a remarkable meaning, because it established in practice the first sighting of the national territory by the Europeans and the encounter of the western explorers with the native peoples. In October 1520, Magallanes discovered for the western world the Strait that today bears his name along with southern Patagonia. His trip showed Europe the interoceanic passage and the transit through the Strait.
The exhibition is made up of 21 plates that recount the journey of Magellan and Elcano.
