Exhibition in Prague: Monuments of Mosul in Danger

(This article expired 28.04.2017.)

The exhibition "Monuments of Mosul in Danger" presents the unique architectural heritage of the city of Mosul, which has become the target of ideologically motivated attacks by the ISIL extremist organization.

The exhibition combines the findings of archaeological and historical research with modern technology and introduces current reconnaissance techniques used to document architectural sites. Thanks to the Czech experts, destroyed monuments of Mosul have been digitally recreated. Visitors to the exhibition will have a unique opportunity to learn about Mosul's architecture and be introduced to the work of the Oriental Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences.
