Curator from Home: Source of Life with Dr. Filiz Çakır Phillip

Quench your thirst for elegant design as you learn about one of the most impressive artifacts in the Aga Khan Museum’s Collection: a five-century-old fountain from Egypt. In this short video for the #MuseumWithoutWalls, Curator Dr. Filiz Çakır Phillip delves into what the tricoloured, sandstone-inlayed marble masterpiece has to say about domestic life in old Cairo, water as a source of life, and ideas of paradise. Truly a refreshing experience!
