I agree with @rinqreation! A mural could seamlessly tie his interests together. You could opt for an antique style map and accessories that explorers might have (binoculars, suitcases, boots, etc). I curated a blog of cool ideas for kid's bedroom murals. Perhaps there is something on there that you could use for inspiration: http://surfacepop.blogspot.com. And of course, depending on where you are, you can consider L Star Murals (www.Lstarmurals.com) as a resource should you choose to go with a mural! We are located in Los Angeles, yet always willing to travel for the right job!

Her are maps used as window treatments...... I also saw another map VALANCE for a window a while back where just a portion of a map was used to create the valance. The map was cut the width of the window plus a few inches extra for each side return. The top of the map was stapled around the perimeter of a board cut to the window width. The board was attached to the top of the window with "L" brackets. Hemp rope was hot glued to the top to hide the staples and it added a nautical touch. The lower edges of the map were cute in an irregular shape following the lines of continents .... Have I totally confused you? Anyway, it was very creative and attractive.
