Syria has always attracted travellers looking to explore and document its rich cultural landscape: today, their photos, maps and reports are providing an invaluable foundation for the reconstruction of this war-ravaged country. The Syrian Heritage Archive Project has gathered these resources together and made them available in the form of a digital archive.

This exhibition considers the possible applications of this digital archive and makes its contents accessible to the public. The exhibition design adopts the aesthetics of digital media and invites visitors on an exploratory journey through Syria, with photos, films, objects and interactive screens.
