Visions from Abroad

Historical and Contemporary Representations of Arabia

Mona Khazindar

Explore the fantasy of Arabia through the eyes of visitors born outside the peninsula. Visions from Abroad is an extraordinary collection of historical, anthropological, and artistic images including painting, sculpture, and photography. It tells the stories of idiosyncratic adventurers and artists like the British naval officer Richard Burton who passed himself off as an Afghan physician and magician in order to enter Arabia in 1853. Discover works of great Orientalist artists like Léon Belly and contemporary photographers such as Raymond Depardon, Abbas, and Humberto Da Silveira.
