Exhibition - April 15 through August 15, 2000
Fine Arts Library, Harvard University,
25 Prescott Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts
Features photographs and other materials documenting the
systematic destruction of cultural heritage during the 1998-99 conflict in
Kosovo. The photographs, by Andras Riedlmayer, Aga Khan Program
bibliographer at Harvard's Fine Arts Library, and Andrew Herscher, a
practicing architect and Ph.D. candidate at Harvard's Graduate School of
Design, were taken as part of a post-war survey of the state of cultural
heritage in Kosovo in October 1999. The survey was supported by a grant
from the Packard Humanities Institute.
Documentation on the destruction of architecture in
Kosovo, compiled by the Kosovo Cultural Heritage Survey, will be published
later this summer as a database on ArchNet.
The Survey's reports on the state of manuscript
libraries and museums in Kosovo appear in the Dec.1999/Feb.2000 and
Mar./May 2000 issues of Bosnia Report, published by the Bosnian Institute
(London). The reports are available on line at the Bosnian Institute's
website http://www.bosnia.org.uk
