Palmyra: lose and remember

Exhibition April 18, 2018 − May 27, 2019
The inhabitants of Palmyra, an ancient Syrian caravan city, decorated their graves with distinctive funeral portraits. These vivid images of exquisitely dressed men, women, and children, often accompanied by inscriptions with the names of local families, highlight the cultural exchanges taking place in the eastern Mediterranean.
