Kudüs i-Sherif : A View of Jerusalem from Istanbul
The current exhibit is based on a collection of artifacts brought from The Prime Minister's Archive in Istanbul (Başbakanlık Osmanlı Arşivi). The exhibit seeks to shed a unique, fresh light on the urban center in Jerusalem Kudüs i-Sherif – as it appears in the Ottoman documents - and show how the winds of change influenced the city's development in the late period of the Ottoman Empire's rule.
