Khalil Rabah’s Palestinian Museum of Natural History and Humankind is an ongoing inquiry into the ways in which history is socially constructed through material embedded in identity and culture. Founded in 1995 and taking the historical and geopolitical context of Palestine as a point of departure, the Museum is an institution that produces and presents artifacts and artworks dating from prehistory to the present day. This ambitious, long-term project set out to disrupt iconic representations of Palestine and inadvertently became the first Palestinian national museum.
