Teaching maps
Teaching cartography at the University of Lyon
This exhibition will trace the development of the teaching of cartography. It will feature a number of maps and objects specific to this discipline.
The cartographic approach has accompanied changes in the teaching of geography since the 19th century. It has always been present, and its place has gradually been consolidated within the University of Lyon.
Through the cartographic productions and collections of the various geographers and cartographers who have succeeded each other in the different universities of Lyon, we invite you to follow 150 years of geographical analyses that have been developed on site, sometimes on a local basis, sometimes covering and coming from afar.
