Notes

Max von Oppenheim - an oriental European

In honour of the German archaeologist, researcher and diplomat Max von Oppenheim who made an invaluable contribution to the worlds of science, art and culture. In 1899, his boundless passion for research led him to discover remains of an advanced culture which had long been believed to vanish without any trace. His work at Tell Halaf, an ancient settlement mound in Northern Syria, famed him one of the most important archaeologists of the 20th century.
