Throughout human history, we have experienced ever-changing landscapes, journeying far and wide to witness nature's seasonal changes. Since the Middle Ages, we have also strived to reconstruct and recreate these sceneries through various means of reproduction—from illuminated manuscripts to modern photographs. This exhibition invites you on a journey to discover "portable landscapes" through a curated collection of manuscripts, rare books, prints, photographs, postcards, and various artifacts related to travel. Our journey spans from late medieval manuscripts to the rise of the picturesque, encompassing travel writings, ideal landscapes of the Grand Tour, and scenery depicted on postcards.
