 Formatting Europe - Mapping a Continent   in the context of Europalia.Europa

The European cartographers have depicted Europe throughout the centuries in several ways : allegorically, physically, politically,... Voluntarily or not, they sometimes took liberties with the reality. But this also was changing during the periods, specially relating to state borders. The exhibition shows maps from the Middle Ages till the 20th century. The maps vary in aspect, aim and scale and have only one common feature: their subject. Grouped chronologically, they show the fascinating evolution of the continent and of its cartography.
