Picturing the Past: Imaging and Imagining the Ancient Middle East
Friday July 6, 2012 from 10:00am - 6:00pm
University of Chicago - Oriental Institute Museum
1155 E 58th St
Chicago, Illinois 60637 Get Directions
'Picturing the Past' presents paintings, architectural reconstructions, facsimiles, casts, models, photographs, and computer-aided reconstructions that show how the architecture, sites, and artifacts of the ancient Middle East have been documented. The show also examines how the publication of those images have shaped our perception of the ancient world, and how some of the more "imaginary" reconstructions have obscured our real understanding of the past. The exhibit also shows how features of the ancient Middle East have been presented in different ways for different audiences, in some cases transforming a highly academic image into a widely recognized icon of the past.
