Exposition : Mshatta in focus. The Jordanian desert palace in historical photographs — Pergamonmuseum, Belrin, 03/10/2014-15/03/2015

Photographs would also later play a pivotal role in the archaeological and museological study of Mshatta. Photographic records were made at several key moments in its recent history: before and during the facade’s dismantling, after the structure was hit by a bomb in World War II, and during its subsequent restoration in the 1950s. Photographic documentation also formed the basis for recurring debates surrounding the facade’s reconstruction and museum display.
The Mshatta Facade is about to be transported once again, as the Pergamonmuseum prepares for extensive renovation, and the Museum of Islamic Art now presents selected highlights from the remarkable photographic biography of this unique monument.
