A 17th-century atlas of the stars and planets is about to go on display for the first time after restoration work that allows you to see its brilliant colors and fine detail. The Art Newspaper takes a peek inside the "Harmonia Macrocosmica," a masterpiece of Dutch art and cartography, which also offers insight into theories of astronomy at that time. If you're in the U.K., you can see the book in real life at the Blickling Estate, Norfolk.
