Until January 24 2011 at the Orientalist Museum, Doha, Quatar

On the occasion of Doha being a cultural capital of the Middle East in 2010 and Istanbul being a cultural capital of Europe, the Orientalist Museum is holding a symbolic exhibition in the temporary gallery of the Museum of Islamic Art “A Journey into the World of the Ottomans.”

A major part of the exhibition artworks come from the Orientalist Museum's own collection and the Rijksmuseum collection, as well as other private collections. The artworks selected illustrate the history of the development of the Orientalist art movement from the 16th to 21st century, which throughout the years shaped the image of the Ottoman world in Europe, covering different genres of Orientalist art. The variety of the artworks demonstrates the appreciation of differences and similarities in European visions of the world of the Ottomans.
