Seeing Cities explores a series of 16th-century maps depicting cities and cityscapes from various cultures, traditions, and for various purposes. Alongside providing a glimpse into Renaissance cartography, this exhibit seeks to illustrate what variables informed mapmakers' artistic and infographical choices in their works, what commonalities or differences are shared amongst them and why. This selection includes maps of Constantinople (Istanbul), Rome, Germany, and settlements in colonial Spanish Mexico.
