Myths and Memories: Renaissance Maps
15 February – 22 June 2025
The American Museum & Gardens presented one of the finest collections of Renaissance maps in the world in a special exhibition for spring 2025. Myths and Memories: Renaissance Maps brought one of Bath’s most celebrated museum collections back into the spotlight, for a must-see show.
Myths and Memories: Renaissance Maps was the first major display of the American Museum’s world-renowned map collection in over a decade, reframing the way the maps had historically been shown. On display was the incredible power, beauty and history of Renaissance maps, with a fascinating new exploration of the myths and memories that created them.
This exhibition launched the Museum’s exciting Year of Exploration, which featured special exhibitions and events, including a pop-up planetarium, stargazing, a thrilling space exhibition, and seasonal family trails.
