Wherever you go in the world, the landscapes, seascapes, and cityscapes you encounter all have stories to tell. Those stories might be about how that place was formed, how its wildlife has evolved, how we understand the processes that shaped it, or how it has inspired artists, writers, and musicians. No matter what the story is, knowing how to read it and understand it makes any trip more worthwhile, whether it's to the park down the street or a city on the other side of the globe. The purpose of Voyages is to help tell these stories, to enrich travel to the places that tell them, and build understanding of the world around us.

The Victorian Era was a chaotic period in which ideas and ideologies bounced off one another, with diverse and surprising results. Nowhere is this more clear than in architecture, where clashes over the meaning of the past and a present of incredible new technologies led to a style that had unexpected impacts on the future of design. This holiday season we'll be journeying through London, Great Britain, and the world to explore the gloriously weird union of art and science that is Victorian architecture. We begin with the most spectacular building of the age, the Crystal Palace. The building itself is long gone, leaving only a few relics, but these remnants tell us a lot about life in Industrial Britain, and you can see them all for yourself in a park in south London.
