StoryMaps

About

StoryMaps are virtual tours with historic and cultural themes, prepared by researchers with first-hand knowledge.

Location

On our website. And in your imagination. Suggestions and comments please, as we are just launching this in its experimental version for now.

Problem

We can’t always visit all the places we are curious about, and that fascinate us. StoryMaps is the modern version of armchair travel – it lets you explore, experience and dream from wherever you are.

Solution

StoryMaps don’t just overcome the barriers of physical travel – they also surmount the dimension of time.

Project Description

Take flight on your laptop – travel through space and time. When we developed this tool, we never dreamed that something like corona would hit our world. Our intention was to bring you to places too far away for you to travel to, like Afghanistan or Kurdistan, and to open a window into the past by showing you the relics of the age of Alexander the Great or the Buddhist Empires. Now, they allow us to travel across the centuries and the continents while staying at home.
