With Koen Fillet and Anne-Rieke van Schaik, PhD candidate at the University of Amsterdam and author of Groundbreakers.

In this first episode of the new season, we dive into the fascinating world of the Leo Belgicus – iconic lion-shaped maps from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Together with Anne-Rieke van Schaik, we discover how maps are more than just tools for navigation: they tell stories of power, war, and identity. Be swept away by the art of mapmaking and get a unique glimpse into her book Groundbreakers, featuring the remarkable map collection of The Phoebus Foundation.
