Globe Masterpiece Collection
Each Eureka globe in the Masterpiece Collection has been carefully designed to
combine the most accurate geographic information with the finest cartographic
styles and handcrafted stands for unsurpassed quality. A globe fascinates us
with it's unique ability to portray our world as a beautiful sphere.
Unlike flat maps, the globe is a perfect Earth model, showing accurate
dimensions, directions and distances.
The uncompromising attention to detail and legibility
produces a globe with superb reference value and aesthetic appeal.

Easy to Read
Special care is taken to insure that all labels and symbols are legible. Use of abbreviations is limited in order to assist those using the globe for reference.
Detailed Place Names & Coastlines
Over 3000 carefully researched place names are included on every 12" globe
- the 16" globe has more than 4000 place names. In addition to the cities,
major landforms, rivers and water bodies are labeled. These globes are valuable
geographic references, in contrast to globes made of acrylic or stone which are
often limited to fewer than 300 labels for the entire world.
Each Eureka globe also includes highly detailed coastlines
representing all continents and islands with precision.

Globes from the Geographic Experts

Unique Map Designs
Eureka's mapmakers track changes worldwide, making place name and boundary updates each year. Each border and label has been carefully researched to provide the most accurate and current information possible.

Hand-crafted Designer Stands
Each stand is designed to complement but not overpower the globe. All stands are
hand-finished and paired with coordinated, plated (not spray painted) meridians. Full rotating meridians allow the globe to pivot 360 degrees in addition to full
rotation about the poles. A semi-meridian spins 360 degrees about the poles
only, minimizing visual interference while retaining an articulated scale in
degrees. An axis arm eliminates the meridian entirely but permits full 360
rotation about the polar axis. Polar caps are made of metal, not plastic.
Selecting a floor or table stand is a matter of
personal preference and space availability. Table models are perfect for desks,
credenzas, side or coffee tables, pedestals, wide shelves or ledges. The floor
globe models complement living rooms, dens, libraries, offices and entryways, much
like fine furniture.
