Baghdad: A Journey Back to Madinat al-Salam, With Assassin’s Creed Mirage
Institut du Monde Arabe,Paris,France
Baghdad: A Journey Back to Madinat al-Salam, With Assassin’s Creed Mirage sheds light on a captivating historical period, a key geographical area and a brilliant civilization. Numerous exquisite artifacts from the Abbasid period are presented, some of which have not been seen for more than 20 years. The objects are showcased amid content from Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the latest video game in the series by the company Ubisoft. Together, they form an exhibition that reveals the splendor of a global city in its golden age. For centuries, this city stood as a political, scientific, cultural and commercial power before it was razed by the Mongols in 1258 CE. The exhibition attempts to answer what the lost city could have been like by connecting historical facts and objects from the Institut du Monde Arabe’s collections with content from Assassin’s Creed Mirage: concept arts, video and audio extracts, images of historical characters and places featured in the game and more.
