Zooming in on three central themes: On The Road (Op Weg), Maps and Colonialism (Kaarten en Kolonialisme), and A Makeable Netherlands (Maakbaar Nederland), the exhibition showcases the unique personal, professional and historical perspectives that inform our understanding of maps.

As visitors make their way through the exhibition, which is itself a kind of map, they’re encouraged to interact with what they encounter. ‘Peepholes’ provide alternative ways of seeing while interview ‘terminals’ give real life insights into the role maps play for different people around the world today. The focal point of the exhibition, designed as an art piece, is a large-scale interactive cube that projects a collage of visitors’ collective thoughts and perspectives on maps.
