Museum of Islamic Art in Cairo

This guide to the Museum of Islamic Art in Cairo begins on January 24, 2014, when a truck bomb outside police headquarters on Port Said Street tore through the museum's carved facade across the street. It traces the damage to a collection built from fragments rescued out of Cairo's crumbling old mosques since the museum opened in 1903, and the international effort that followed to save it. Listen for the small gold labels marking pieces that came back from the wreckage.
