At the end of the 3rd millennium BC, a climate crisis in the Levant caused a shortage of olive oil. To overcome this, people started using fish oil as an alternative fuel, and lamps – like this one – needed four spouts instead of one to give the same intensity of light 🔥 In our latest YouTube series, Director Hartwig Fischer reflects on objects in the collection – starting with this lamp – that relate to moments of crisis in history and form a record of human resilience through adversity.
