'The World of 1607' Audio Minutes
Third Cycle


Worldof1607banner_000.jpg

The third phase of 'The World of 1607,' a yearlong exhibition portraying Jamestown and Virginia in a global context, explored the parallel development of the cities of Edo (Tokyo) and Paris, scientific measurement, the transmission of knowledge, literature promoting colonization, the beginnings of museums and the impact of theater on British identity.

These audio "minutes" investigate the themes of the exhibit and provide an introduction to enrich your understanding. Double-click the PLAY button under each title to listen.

All the World is a Stage

As three small ships sailed toward Jamestown,
the world stage was set for drama.

A Cabinet of Wonder

As 104 settlers sought wealth at Jamestown in 1607, Europe collected treasures of another kind.

 Measuring the Microcosm and the Macrocosm

As three small ships navigated toward Jamestown in 1607, 17th-century scientists and instrument makers were finding new ways to measure the world.

Image of the Other

While English settlers were making contact with the Powhatan Indians in Virginia, Britain was already interacting with other exotic cultures to the east.

 American Colonization Tracts

English colonizers received little governmental support, but were creative in attracting needed resources.
