Although the concept was essentially generated in the 19 th Century as the nameof a field of research, it acquired a negative connotation following the publication in 1978of Palestinian-American thinker Edward Said’s book entitled “Orientalism”. Orientalismwas no longer accepted as the mere heading of a research area, but became a word characterizingthe biased attitude of the West vis-à-vis the East, frilled with a zest of ignorance.In the eyes of the West, the East is as poor as it is mystical, and as much lazy and fatalisticas it is mysterious.

While the exhibitionentitled “1001 Faces of Orientalism” focusesmainly on 19 th Century Orientalism, it shedslight at the same time on the impact of thetheme on many areas ranging from science,archaeology, architecture, fashion, photographyto World Fairs, by going down to theroot source of the term “Orientalism”.The archaeological excavations performedin Near Eastern countries at the beginningof the 19 th Century, images from World Fairs,examples of Ottoman buildings erected inthe Orientalist style of architecture initiallydeveloped in Europe, Orientalist styleinterior designs, stage designs and fashion,studio photos, and various stages of the“travel to the East” wave beginning with the19 th Century, are presented through variousobjects, samples and documents. Theexhibition was prepared with the support ofa scientific advisory committee composed ofa group of academics with leading experts in
