Utställningstext, Korsvägar

Mecka är en modern miljonstad. En stad som länge varit en av världens centrala korsvägar. Platsen har varit ett centrum för handel och möten för människor från hela den muslimska världen.

Meckavägarna var viktiga för att binda ihop världen Från Gambia i väst till Kina och Indonesien i öst har vägar lett till Mecka. Längs dem har också många som inte varit muslimer rest och handlat, även om de inte fått komma hela vägen in i Mecka.

Varor, hantverkskunnande, kontakter och idéer har här korsat kontinenter.

Utställningstext, Korsvägar, eng

Mecca is a modern city of over a million people, and a city that has long been one of the world’s central crossroads. It has been a center for trade and encounters between people from the entire Muslim world.

From Gambia in the west to China and Indonesia in the east, roads leading to Mecca have played a big role in connecting the world. Many non-Muslims have also travelled and traded along them, though they have not been permitted to come all the way in to Mecca.

Goods, artisanal expertise, contacts and ideas have moved between continents.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
