Maps can be much more than simple navigation tools inside an exhibition.
They can show trade routes, migrations, battles, expeditions, changing borders, artistic influences, scientific discoveries, or the growth of cities over time. A well-designed map can help visitors understand connections that would otherwise be difficult to visualize.
Some exhibitions use only a few maps, while others make them a central part of the storytelling. When done well, they can provide valuable context without overwhelming visitors with information.
Have you visited an exhibition where maps played an important role?
Did they help you understand the subject more clearly, or were there other interpretive tools you found more effective?
