Lawrence of Arabia

One of the greatest epics in film history, LARENCE OF ARABIA recounts the true experiences of T.E. Lawrence, a young, idealistic British officer assigned to the camp of Prince Feisal, an Arab chief and leader of an uprising against the Turks during the First World War. In a series of brilliant tactical manoeuvres, Lawrence leads fifty of Feisal's men in an agonising three-week crossing of the Nefud Desert to attack the strategically important Turkish port of Aqaba. The legend of Lawrence of Arabia was born, and from then on he dreamed of uniting the Arabs. This is not at all welcomed in his native England, as the great power has its own colonial plans.

We are showing this monumental work in cooperation with the Weltmuseum Wien as part of the exhibition ‘On the Back of the Camels’, which can be seen until 26 January 2025.
