M25 – Oculi Mundi

MAR and thecreativedestruction developed the Research and Concept of Oculi Mundi, the online platform of the Sunderland Collection, an inclusive and critical space for exploration, discovery and cross-cultural evolution of knowledge.

Oculi Mundi is a platform for “travellers and curious minds, exploring how different views of the world were made, and why; learning about the people behind the maps, and how they remain relevant today; and digging into the techniques that were used to create these wonderful objects.”
