Arts of the Islamic World
The term “Islamic art” refers to a variety of artwork made by and for Muslims over the centuries. Islam began over 1,400 years ago in the Arabian Peninsula and soon spread across Asia, Africa, and Europe. Today Muslims live on every continent and make up a quarter of the world’s population. Discover some exquisite examples from the museum’s collection.
