The guided tour which will be led by the exhibition curator Giulia Martini will uncover the works of many of the earliest photographers–scientists, chemists, engineers, and archaeologists, who did not even consider themselves artists. The stories of those first practitioners are the focus of the exhibition, which will display some of the earliest images taken in the Middle East.
