?Exploring the Early Americas" features selections from the more than  
3,000 rare maps, documents, paintings, prints, and artifacts that make  
up the Jay I. Kislak Collection at the Library of Congress. It  
provides insight into indigenous cultures, the drama of the encounters  
between Native Americans and European explorers and settlers, and the  
pivotal changes caused by the meeting of the American and European  
worlds. The exhibition includes two extraordinary maps by Martin  
Waldseemüller created in 1507 and 1516, which depict a world enlarged  
by the presence of the Western Hemisphere. Directions: Use Ground  
Entrance to the Jefferson Building for Access. Easiest way to get to  
the Library of Congress is by Metro. Take Red line to Union Station  
and walk 5 blocks south. Take Blue or Orange Line to Capitol South and
