Ideas Needed - Exploration themed room

Anonmouse

Can't quite put my finger on how to describe it but want more ideas to get the feel of early exploration - see photo of the map that is already on the wall. The room is a study/spare room - desk, chair, computer, futon + chest of drawers and not much else at the moment.



Some bits I am looking at:

Telescope: http://www.homedecorators.com/P/Explorer_Telescope/

Globe Drinks Cabinet: http://www.zoffolistore.com/37-desk-globe-with-small-drinks-holder-.html

Any ideas greatly appreciated for things to buy or ways to decorate.

Globe was going to be my first suggestion.

A ship-style clock?

For knick knacks, a brass compass?

Large picture of Dora?

Plasterer

Glow in the dark constellations for the ceiling.

not quite the end of the world, but you can see it from there.

A good old leather captain's chair, a couple of large African figures / masks, framed collections of shells / fossils and perhaps an orerry of some sort?
