Inside the huge cylindrical tower at the center of this museum, artist Yadegar Asisi constructed a photorealistic picture that surrounds the viewer entirely and stretches several stories high. Based on a similar piece he made in 2012, the picture shows a stylized vision of life in the Greco-Roman city of Pergamon (modern Bergama, Turkey) during a festival held for the visiting Roman emperor Hadrian. The surrounding rooms of the museum contain sculpture and other artifacts from Pergamon, shown in Asisi’s spectacular staging with colorful lighting and accent walls.
