Intoxicating Spaces Virtual Exhibition Launch

The online exhibition of the research project "Intoxicating Spaces" shows how tobacco, coffee or opium changed urban life in the early modern era. The digital opening of the Intoxicating Spaces Virtual Exhibition will take place on Wednesday, November 16, 2:00 p.m.

The project "Intoxicating Spaces" (https://www.intoxicatingspaces.org) traces the impact of ‘new’ intoxicants – opiates, tobacco, sugar, coffee, tea, and chocolate – on Europe’s urban spaces between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Three years in the making, and conceived as a digital scrapbook, the exhibition brings together over 1,000 exhibits, or ‘scraps’, from archives, libraries, and museums that illuminate this process in our case study cities of Amsterdam, Hamburg, London, and Stockholm. Designed to be used for research, teaching, or simply general interest, the exhibition provides an innovative and easy way to explore and compare the entangled histories of intoxicating spaces in the Baltic and North Seas.

At this online launch event we will briefly introduce the resource and its relationship to the project, explain how to get the most out of it, and tell some of the stories told through its scraps.
