Announcement
In 2012, Academia Maps began with a mission to enhance education through detailed, high-quality maps, merging our passion for knowledge with innovative design. Our foundation, rooted from our retail shop worldmapsonline.com, allowed us to become a trusted educational map supplier for U.S. schools. By expanding into Etsy in 2019, we broadened our impact, offering both educational institutions and individuals access to maps that are not only tools for learning but also art for inspiration, embodying the belief that understanding our world is essential to shaping the future.
Our normal office hours in our Seattle shop are M-F 8am - 4pm PST and during these times you can expect prompt responses to messages.

5 out of 5 starsIve hung many similar wall maps (7 or 8). This map was, by far, the easiest to hang, and was the highest quality map I’ve purchased yet. Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsMap is great and was easy to put up. It has a quality feel, and I'm sure it will last a lifetime. My son likes to look at it and say 'oh hey I didn't realize this was so close to this'. It's really neat to see the world everyday.

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders
We happily accommodate requests for customization. Many simple customizations we can do at no additional charge. More involved projects may incur artwork fees which we provide estimates for in our conversation.
We provide mockups to review before we print. We make every effort to contact the buyer for artwork approval when a customization is requested. If we do not receive response to our mockup images in a timely manner we may approve on buyer's behalf and proceed to production. Please understand that we are unable to accept returns on customized or personalized items.
Sizing details
All sizes are in inches and and feet! We try to list the width first but don't hold us to it. All of our world maps are wider than they are tall!!!
Gift wrapping and packaging
We currently do not offer gift wrapping. Items ship in a shipping tube or cardboard carton.
