Collection: MIDDLE EAST : THE OTTOMAN WORLD, IRAN AND NORTH AFRICA

Birthplace to splendid empires and at least three monotheistic religions, and home of the Holy Places of all three, the Middle East seen from the outside represents a certain homogeneity of world view and lifestyle. However, at a closer glance the frictions and factions past and present create an ever evolving dynamic. Technological, cultural and artistic achievements of these societies continue to touch us and inspire to find out more without 'orientalist', diminishing stereotypes.
