A collection of 15 politically engaged short stories, encapsulating a hundred years of conflict in Palestine.

No other work on Palestine or Zionism, be it an essay, a film or a piece of fiction will give you so sensitive and searing a glimpse into what the conflict in that part of the world is all about. This collection of short stories is a courageous throwback to an age when literature was a branch of history or history a branch of literature. One hundred years of struggle are transformed into real-life characters that breathe, argue, give birth or die, in the span of just over one hundred pages.

The name used for the collection was inspired by the British mandate museum inaugurated in 1939, The Palestine Museum of Archeology. One of the stories outlines the political, social and artistic context in which the museum came into existence.

While the stories are based on true historical events, they remain a work of fiction.
