Hand-crafted, custom globes for your home, school or office

Ever since the first known terrestrial globes were fashioned by cartographer and merchant Martin Behaim and painter Georg Glockendon circa 1492 in Nuremberg, Germany, people have enjoyed learning from spherical models of our planet Earth. Unlike two-dimensional maps, which tend to distort the proportions of the Earth's surface, three-dimensional globes represent all the places on the earth at scale, presenting an accurate view of the states, countries, continents, oceans and seas that make up our world. Even with the precision level of todays digital maps, there's nothing quite like a beautiful globe that you can spin through your hands, traveling the planet in just a few seconds. A globe is the only truly accurate representation of our spherical planet. No flat image can ever be an accurate representation of the Earth. Even the Mercator projection commonly used with two dimensional maps, has its flaws, as countries near the north and south pole look bigger than they are in reality. Other flat projections run into similar issues. The only real solution is a globe. https://largeglobes.com
