Why We Love Map Posters
Map posters: a corner of the world on your wall. In a digital age where any location is just a click away, there’s still nothing like the charm of a tangible city map. Shea Winter Roggio, the brains behind Winter Museo, knows this all too well. A globe-trotter at heart, Shea always felt an irresistible pull towards maps and travel. Every new city visited, every alleyway wandered through, he wished for a keepsake. And not just any keepsake, but a reminder of the streets, the air, the culture… the memories.
This love for maps and travel not only led Shea to amass an impressive collection of maps but also planted the seed for Winter Museo. It was his dream to transform these silent storytellers into art, allowing others to capture their own memories or fuel their wanderlust.
But hang on, these aren’t just ordinary posters. Dive in to see what makes our maps stand out.
What Makes Our City Map Posters Great
Winter Museo’s city map posters are a class apart, and not just because they look good. For starters, the material is top tier: think Archival Pigment on a heavy, premium Fine Art Paper. The details? Oh, they’re crisp, capturing everything from the buzz of a city square to the serenity of a hidden lane. Then there’s the size range, from cozy 12×16″ to a statement-making 30×40″, fitting seamlessly into different spaces.
Here’s the icing on the cake: For every map you buy, we plant a tree. Yes, while you’re exploring the world through our maps, you’re also doing your part for Mother Earth. And wait, it gets better! These designs aren’t just plucked from the ether; they’re the creations of budding artists from across the globe, each bringing their own flavor and perspective to their work. So, every time you purchase, you’re supporting a young artist’s dream. Worried about waiting or shipping costs? Don’t. We pride ourselves on quick and affordable shipping.
Now, let’s whisk you away to our diverse collections.
Winter Museo’s Unique City Map Posters Collections

Italy, a country renowned for its deep-rooted culture, comes alive in two distinct styles: the nostalgic Antique and the trendy Chalkboard, allowing you to either meander through Italy’s storied past or revel in its contemporary vibe.
Over in North America, the essence of Mexico unfolds through two distinct lenses: the evocative Vintage style capturing its rich history, and the edgier Cartel style with its bright red colors that showcase a more modern perspective. And for those who feel the allure of the ocean, our US Islands Maps cater to both the old souls with an Antique rendition and the color enthusiasts with vivid, modern depictions of bright blue sea.
Each collection from Winter Museo is more than a variety of maps; it’s an invitation to a story or stories waiting to be explored.
