From 30 April to 11 September 2011, the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum – Kulturen der Welt is showing ‘Lawrence of Arabia – Genesis of a Myth’, a special exhibition taking a critical look at T.E. Lawrence as a figure in contemporary history. The exhibition illustrates the stages of T.E. Lawrence's life and work, with one section dedicated entirely to his media presence in comics and film. In a complementary exhibition, photographer Boris Becker offers an impressive insight into the landscapes where the 'Prince of the Desert' spent many years of his life.
