I created this page for fans like me as a visual companion to the world of Robert Langdon. Langdon is the main character is a novel series by Dan Brown. I am a visual person and like to see the fabulous places, works of art and symbols that Dan Brown describes in his novels. This is not meant to be a spoiler and no plots are discussed.
Use the category menu to follow along as you read/listen through the story. Some chapters do not require visuals and they are not included in the list. START HERE
The location for the majority of the story in Origin is Spain. Bilbao, Barcelona, and Madrid are the focus. Other story lines take place in Budapest, Hungary. I included maps for reference.

Excellent initiative!!! Now, reading a Dan Brown novel, has become all the more pleasant and fascinating. It was tedious to refer Google each time to get the visuals of art, symbols and places mentioned by the author. But when I accidentally stumbled upon this site, it was as if I came across an all-in-one online shopping site. In eager anticipation, to see the visual compilation of the next Dan Brown novel too.. Gratitude all the way from India..

Stumbled upon the website, and absolutely loved this. It made “living” the book, rather than just read it, much easier. I’d like to request that if you could do the same for other books of the Langdon series too. Thanks!

Hey there! I’m Vitoria Regina from Brazil and I just wanted to say a huge “thank you” for creating this website to help us fans of Dan Brown’s novels. I’m a visual person just like you and I had always struggled to imagine the wonderful places and everything that appear in the books and than having to search for them and than getting back to the book like “oookay now I get it”. You know what I mean? Lol. While I was in the beginning of Origin I found your website and it was the best thing I could ask for while searching about the Guggenheim Museum! You are amazing, what you did is amazing and well thank you very much for everything!
