Storyglobe

The world's stories, told on one globe.

Spin a real 3D Earth and watch history move. See where words, foods, inventions and faiths began, and follow how they travelled across the map.

Ten globes, one Earth

Each globe follows one story. Tap a pin to open it.

Every country's word for mother, water, tea or sugar, written on the map and coloured by where it comes from.

Rewind 1.8 billion years and watch the continents drift on a real scientific plate model, then go back to the Big Bang.

Where wheat, rice, the horse and the cat were first domesticated, and how they spread around the world.

Coffee, noodles, chocolate, curry: where each was first made and how the recipe travelled.

From the wheel and paper to the telephone and the web: where things were invented and how they spread.

The bone flute, the lyre, jazz, reggae and K-pop: where instruments and music styles were born.

The car and the ideas that shaped motoring, from the first engines to the open road.

Three storylines and over 200 events, with routes on the map and voiced tours.

The history of Romania, the United Kingdom, the United States and France, event by event.

Twenty Eurostat maps for nearly 300 European regions, with timelines, charts and rankings.
