Poetry plays a major role in societies in West Asia and North Africa. Across social classes, national boundaries and languages, poems are known and recited by heart by millions of people. The new exhibition Poetry of the People highlights influential poems from these regions. The exhibition shows how poetry can influence people's lives both on an individual and collective level.
Poetry of the People will be on view from February 14 until August 24, 2025.
