Aleppo Room, Islamic art exhibit in Pergamon Museum, Germany
The wooden wall panels of the Aleppo Room extend over 35 meters in length and stand at 260 centimeters high within the Museum of Islamic Art.
The panels originated from a Christian merchant's residence in Aleppo during 1600-1603, representing the earliest complete example of this architectural element from Syria.
The paneling combines Christian and Islamic imagery through intricate paintings, demonstrating the religious diversity and social connections in 17th-century Aleppo.
Visitors access the Aleppo Room through the Museum of Islamic Art section of the Pergamon Museum, located on Museum Island in Berlin.
The cedar wood panels feature detailed scenes from both Biblical narratives and Quranic references, executed with Persian artistic techniques and Syrian craftsmanship.
