Interactive map of Lord Byron’s travels in Greece, Italy and Switzerland

Biographies

In the context of the bicentenary since Lord Byron’s death, the Society for Hellenism and Philhellenism (SHP), collaborated with the British Embassy in Bern, Switzerland, to create an interactive map referring to Lord Byron’s travels in Greece, Italy and Switzerland. The interactive map presents audio-visual material, personal items, letters as well as Byronic and Philhellenic art from the collections of the Museum of Philhellenism for each of the cities that the great romantic poet passed through and lived.
