Klappentext
The Al Ain Museum in context, tracing heritage, architecture and renewal within the UNESCO World Heritage landscape
>
The first chapter situates the museum within the cultural landscape of Al Ain, offering archaeological and historical insights into the region. Contributions by Peter Sheehan and Michel De Vreeze provide foundational context, while Abdul Rahman Al Nuaimi discusses the World Heritage designation. Cartographic inserts and a foldout timeline enhance spatial and temporal understanding.
The second chapter focuses on built heritage, particularly Haret Al Hosn and the museum's historical development. It includes archaeological analyses and conservation perspectives from Peter Sheehan and Amel Chabi.
The last chapter addresses the museum's rehabilitation, emphasising archaeological investigations conducted during construction and before it, as well as the architectural vision by Dabbagh Architects. A foldout floor plan illustrates curatorial zoning and interpretive strategies.
