Cultural Routes of Eurasia

The Silk Road in the early 20th century and today. In the Project 'Cultural Routes of Eurasia' the Asian Art Museum (Berlin) digitised the important historical photo collection of the German Turfan Expeditions. In November 2008 an IDP-CREA team photographed ruins on the southern Silk Road to compare their condition to historical photos from the early twentieth century.

This film was made for the exhibition "A Different Approach to the World, The Humboldt-Forum in the Berlin Palace A first look at the lab" Exhibition Altes Museum, Museum Island Berlin, 9 July 2009 - 17 January 2010
