Wyner Museum: Projecting Palestine

Projecting Palestine:
Glass Lantern Slides & Souvenirs of the Holy Land, 1880-1915
Wyner Museum

Partnering with the Semitic Museum at Harvard, the Wyner Museum at TI brings you these images. They were almost certainly acquired for use in the Religious School around the turn of the century. Accompanied by contemporary descriptions, they reveal a carefully constructed view of Palestine over a century ago. Souvenirs of that era's tourist trade are also on display. These add another dimesion to the exhibit and demonstrate the lifestyle of 'contemporary' Holy Land. Please visit the museum!
