“Mediterranean Travel: People, Places, Encounters” explores themes of travel in the medieval and early modern Mediterranean. The exhibition begins with a look at maritime travel and technology, then turns to aspects of Christian and Islamic pilgrimage. Warfare and diplomacy are treated as topics of travel, given the movement of military forces and diplomats, as well as the exchange of letters and information. The exhibition includes travelers' reflections and records of their journeys, such as the legendary travels of Alexander the Great and Marco Polo that captured the minds of readers.
