Navina Najat Haidar, Curator, Department of Islamic Art

Paintings, carpets, textiles, and other treasures in their new settings offer a view of fourteen centuries of artistic achievement, as well as an educational perspective into this important facet of world culture. The suite of fifteen galleries underscores the diverse and individual regions within which the objects were created, and the important interconnections between the Islamic world and wider cultures.

Includes luncheon with the curator at 12:15 p.m.
