It was founded 1930 by Antonis Benakis, a member of a leading Greek family of Alexandria. The current museum is decentralised: its hub is the neoclassical mansion presenting the evolution of Greek culture from the Paleolithic period to the present day. The autonomous buildings include the exhibition centre on Pireos 138, the Toy Museum on the Athens seafront, the Ghika Gallery and the Museum of Islamic Art.  \n  \nThe Museum of Islamic Art is a renovated neoclassical building in Athens’ historic centre near the ancient Agora. It opened in 2004 to house the collection formed by Antonis Benakis during the early part of the 20th century, while he was living in Egypt. Subsequently enriched by other donations, today it contains c. 10,000 objects from the Middle East, Iran, Turkey, North Africa and India. It demonstrates the evolution of Islamic art up to the 19th century and corresponding developments to the middle of the 20th century. The collection includes ceramics, metalwork, jewellery, textiles, woodwork, glassware, ivories, funerary steles and arms and armour.  \n  \nThe visitor first finds exhibits from the 7th to the 12th century. Highlights are lustreware, door panels from Iraq, Fatimid metalwork, tiraz textiles and a unique reed mat from 10th-century Tiberias. Then follow objects from the 12th to the 16th century with Seljuq ceramics, Mamluk metalwork and pottery and highlights a brass box with the signature of Isma’il ibn al-Ward al-Mawsili dated 1220 and the astrolabe of Ahmad ibn al-Sarraj dated 1328/29.  \n  \nAnother gallery displays a marble-lined reception room from a 17th-century mansion in Cairo, together with its fountain, qamariyya windows and a mashrabiyya screen. Other noteworthy exhibits are the collection of Iznik pottery and a 16th-century velvet saddle from Bursa. The display concludes with arms and armour and an important collection of Qajar jewellery that was collected by Argine Salvagos, sister of the founder.  \n  \nDuring preservation work, a large section of the ancient city wall of Athens from the 4th century BC was uncovered and remains in situ at basement level, accessible to visitors.","city":"Athens","address":"22 Agion Asomaton & 12 Dipilou Street  \n10674 Athens","website":"http://www.benaki.gr/","phone":"+30 210 325 1311","email":"islamic_collection@benaki.gr"},"2300bb0e-fc9f-55c5-ae2e-20f619a46cce":{"name":"Weltmuseum Wien","description":"The Weltmuseum Wien – formerly the Museum of Ethnology – houses comprehensive collections of ethnographic objects, historical photographs, and books on non-European civilisations, making it one of the world’s leading ethnographic museums. Its roots can be traced back to 1806, when the \"Imperial and Royal Ethnographic Collection\" was established as part of the combined Imperial and Royal Court Cabinet of Natural Objects, following the partial acquisition of the \"Cook Collection\" at a London auction. The continuously growing collections were transferred to the newly created “Department of Anthropology and Ethnography” of the Royal Court Museum of Natural History in 1876. Limited space and a goal of developing ethnology as a cultural science convinced political decision-makers to establish a unified, cohesive Museum of Ethnology. The “Museum of Ethnology” opened formally in 1928 taking up the entire building of the “Corps de Logis” in Neue Burg.  \n  \nIn 2001 the Museum of Ethnology was incorporated into the KHM-Museum Association. In April 2013 the Museum of Ethnology became the \"Weltmuseum Wien\" – a site of world cultures – at Vienna’s Heldenplatz. In October 2017, after extensive reparation and modernisation of the historical building, the Museum reopened in its entirety with 14 completely revised permanent exhibition galleries.

The new headquarters building of the Museum and the School was completed in 1888, in the old Fair Square, today's Marshal Tito Square.  \n  \nThe basic collections of museum objects were created mostly from the donations of patriots. They were augmented through the purchase of several important collections from private collectors and also by programmed acquisitions, both within the country and from abroad.  \n  \nUp to World War One the Museum's scientific, professional and collection policy respected the conception laid down in the original motives underlying its establishment.  \n  \nBetween the two World Wars the concept of the Museum changed from being a collection of items to a cultural, historical and artistic institution.  \n  \nAfter World War Two the concept of modern museum communication became important, with many activities intended to involve the public.  \n  \nThe permanent display, opened in 1962, was of particular importance. Its backbone was the collection of furniture which, guided by the idea of a complex art museum that values equally all the fields of plastic arts design, was displayed in synthesis with other objects.  \n  \nThe present permanent display, created in 1995, has built on the positive experiences of earlier displays and has been broadened by new thematic units.

David (1878-1960), a prominent Danish attorney, who had begun to collect fine and decorative art in the 1910s. In this last field, he was aided by directors of the Danish Museum of Art and Design, who gradually also guided him to another area that had previously attracted little interest in Denmark: Islamic art. The Islamic part of David’s collection was, however, still rather modest at the time of his death in 1960.  \n  \nA bachelor and childless, C. L. David left his Copenhagen townhouse and works of art to a private foundation, along with financial means that made it possible to expand his collections. From the 1970s, a decision was consequently made to place increasing emphasis on expanding the Islamic holdings. The Islamic Collection has grown to become not only the museum’s most important, with over 4,000 objects, but also Scandinavia’s most significant in its field.  \n  \nThe Islamic Collection has been built up in keeping with the classical pattern for Western collections of this kind. It embodies works of art from Spain in the west to India in the east, but not works from Sub-Saharan Africa or Southeast Asia. Chronologically, the collection ranges from works dating to shortly after the advent of Islam to the middle of the 19th century. The collection encompasses all types of materials, but since the small rooms of 19th-century buildings like C. L. David’s townhouse, now the museum’s home, make it impossible to exhibit large objects, the museum consequently has only a modest collection of carpets, and they are either of small size or fragments of larger carpets.  \n  \nFollowing the museum’s refurbishment and reinstallation of its collections in 2009, the David Collection is now divided into three parts: European 18th-Century Art, Danish Early Modern Art, and Islamic Art. The collection of Islamic Art is presented in a new, contemporary setting, enhanced by digital and other modern techniques used to elucidate the objects on display. The backbone of the collection is 20 chronological/geographical sections, but the display also contains special galleries for light-sensitive materials as well as others dedicated to themes such as cultural history and artistic techniques.","city":"Copenhagen","address":"Kronprinsessegade, 30  \nCopenhagen  \nDenmark  \n  \nPostal address: Kronprinsessegade 30-32","website":"http://www.davidmus.dk/en","phone":"+45 33734949","email":"museum@davidmus.dk"},"40411e66-c284-545a-b2ef-8e0e8a2c7f6e":{"name":"MKG Museum for Applied Arts","description":"The Museum for Applied Arts (Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg) is a museum of applied arts highlighting design, photography, fashion and graphic arts and crafts.

Most loved by our visitors is the finely painted wooden panelling of an upper-class house from Aleppo (Syria) from the early 17th century – it is the oldest surviving exemplar from the Ottoman World. Among the several archaeological groups from major excavations in the Islamic world the finds from the 9th-century caliphal capital of Samarra (Iraq) stand out. The collection also has a large number of important Ottoman and Persian carpets and bibliographical works of art, including numerous miniatures from the Mughal Empire.  \n  \nThe collection is displayed chronologically, allowing the visitor to follow the different stylistic phases of Islamic art and to develop a notion of the complex Islamic history and its artistic merits. Because of the large number of visitors (up to 900,000 yearly), only a small number of the most important works of art are on display.

With holdings of more than 28,000 objects documenting the range of artistic production of the Islamic lands over a period of some 1400 years, the Collection now ranks among the best in the world and represents a new generation of Islamic art collections.  \n  \nThe Collection includes an outstanding array of manuscripts of the Holy Qur’an and of illustrated manuscripts, and the coverage of the decorative arts – ceramics, textiles, glass, metalwork and lacquer as well as seals and coins – is comprehensive.  \n  \nThe holdings of manuscripts and folios of the Holy Qur’an are the first to have been assembled systematically in order to illustrate the whole history of Qur’an production, both in terms of time span and geographical range – from the 8th to the 20th centuries, and from Morocco to China. Similar sequences have been assembled for painting and the decorative arts. Glass, ceramics and metalwork, for example, are represented in the full range of techniques from the pre-Islamic period through to the 19th century.  \n  \nLater Islamic art has been given the same level of attention. The wealth of important objects and manuscripts from later periods in the Collection shows that much art worthy of our attention on aesthetic as well as historical and intellectual grounds was produced in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Another important art form of this period is Islamic lacquer, represented in the Collection by more than 500 examples.  \n  \nThe catalogue of the Collection is an unprecedented 27-volume series, of which several are now published, and when completed will form a unique survey of the field to date. *Studies in the Khalili Collection* is a second series of publications related to the Islamic art collection, presenting more detailed analysis of certain objects.  \n  \n**Hajj and the Arts of Pilgrimage Collection**  \n  \nFor some 40 years, and under the auspices of The Khalili Family Trust, Professor Nasser D.

From the beginning it granted free admission to all “studious and curious persons”. The founding collection was that of Sir Hans Sloane, a wealthy physician and collector. The original British Museum comprised three departments: Printed Books; Manuscripts (including coins); and Natural and Artificial Productions, which included everything from sculpture to mineral samples and zoological specimens. In January 1759 the British Museum opened its doors to the public.  \n  \nAs a product of the Enlightenment, the museum's job was to be a storehouse of knowledge for the use and benefit of the public, advancing all fields of scholarship. The museum therefore aimed to collect all kinds of material; it remains one of the few places in the world in which it is possible to see the world under one roof. During the 19th century the museum acquired representative collections of Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Assyrian antiquities, as well as material from across the Islamic world.  \n  \nThe museum itself had to grow to offer space to display the growing collections. Between 1823 and 1847 the original building was replaced by four large wings built around a central courtyard. In 1854 construction began on the iconic Round Reading Room in the central courtyard. The natural history collections were given their own home in the new Museum of Natural History in 1881.

The Glasgow Museums collection is the biggest managed by any local authority in the United Kingdom and one of a handful of municipal collections that are recognized to have national importance. This service was founded in 1854 with the McLellan collection of European paintings, which was donated to the people of Glasgow by Archibald McLellan together with a building to house it.

The oldest items date back to the 10th and 11th centuries. The earliest objects to enter the museums’ collections were donated in the 1870s. Though many of these are private donations, some were purchased by the museum service. The Islamic collections are mainly housed at The Burrell Collection, The St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art, Glasgow Museums Resource Centre, and Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.  \n  \nThe main strength of the Islamic collections lies in the large donation of Sir William Burrell and his wife, who gifted their massive and varied collection to Glasgow in 1944. It includes Iranian and Mughal Indian ceramics and carpets, Turkish and Uzbek textiles and embroideries, and Hispano-Moresque lustrewares. The other Islamic collections of Glasgow Museums include objects from Mughal India, Fatimid and Mamluk Egypt and Syria, the Ottoman Middle East, and 19th century Berber and Arab North Africa.

In the 12th century, under the Almohads, Abdelmoumen renovated the fort into a royal residence and defensive post in support of the conquest of the Iberian Peninsula. In 1609, Philip II of Spain expelled nearly one million Moriscos – descendants of Muslims who at that time were living in Spain under Christian rule. Among these were 2,000 Arabic-speaking Muslims, the Hornacheros, who settled in the Oudayas Casbah and established an independent republic that engaged in piracy. The turbulent history of the Bouregreg estuary ended with the Alaouite Sidi Mohammed bin Abdellah (1757–89).  \n  \nThroughout its history the Oudayas Casbah has been the site of major construction works, including Bab el-Kebir, the monumental Almohad gate; the rampart of the Alaouite sultan Moulay Rachid; and the princely residence of Moulay Ismaïl (1672–1727).  \n  \n**The Museum**  \n  \nBuilt in the former pavilions of the sultan Moulay Ismaïl, the Oudayas Museum is an Andalusian-inspired architectural masterpiece.

With modern spatial differentiation and new multimedia contents the museum has become an experience which, by placing the visitor in an atmosphere of tangible historical heritage, essentially determines him or her as a cultural being.","city":"Zagreb","address":"Trg maršala Tita, 10  \n10000 Zagreb  \nCroatia","website":"http://www.muo.hr/","phone":"+385 1 4882111","fax":"+385 1 4828088","email":"muo@muo.hr"},"33f89573-8b54-5c1a-86ba-1663e604740f":{"name":"Jordan Archaeological Museum","description":"The museum was founded in 1951 by the Department of Antiquities of Jordan on the Citadel of Amman on a hill called Jabal al-Qal’a.

L. David (1878-1960), a prominent Danish attorney, who had begun to collect fine and decorative art in the 1910s. In this last field, he was aided by directors of the Danish Museum of Art and Design, who gradually also guided him to another area that had previously attracted little interest in Denmark: Islamic art. The Islamic part of David’s collection was, however, still rather modest at the time of his death in 1960.  \n  \nA bachelor and childless, C. L. David left his Copenhagen townhouse and works of art to a private foundation, along with financial means that made it possible to expand his collections. From the 1970s, a decision was consequently made to place increasing emphasis on expanding the Islamic holdings. The Islamic Collection has grown to become not only the museum’s most important, with over 4,000 objects, but also Scandinavia’s most significant in its field.  \n  \nThe Islamic Collection has been built up in keeping with the classical pattern for Western collections of this kind. It embodies works of art from Spain in the west to India in the east, but not works from Sub-Saharan Africa or Southeast Asia. Chronologically, the collection ranges from works dating to shortly after the advent of Islam to the middle of the 19th century. The collection encompasses all types of materials, but since the small rooms of 19th-century buildings like C. L. David’s townhouse, now the museum’s home, make it impossible to exhibit large objects, the museum consequently has only a modest collection of carpets, and they are either of small size or fragments of larger carpets.  \n  \nFollowing the museum’s refurbishment and reinstallation of its collections in 2009, the David Collection is now divided into three parts: European 18th-Century Art, Danish Early Modern Art, and Islamic Art. The collection of Islamic Art is presented in a new, contemporary setting, enhanced by digital and other modern techniques used to elucidate the objects on display. The backbone of the collection is 20 chronological/geographical sections, but the display also contains special galleries for light-sensitive materials as well as others dedicated to themes such as cultural history and artistic techniques.","city":"Copenhagen","address":"Kronprinsessegade, 30  \nCopenhagen  \nDenmark  \n  \nPostal address: Kronprinsessegade 30-32","website":"http://www.davidmus.dk/en","phone":"+45 33734949","fax":"+45 33734948","email":"museum@davidmus.dk"},"40411e66-c284-545a-b2ef-8e0e8a2c7f6e":{"name":"MKG Museum for Applied Arts","description":"The Museum for Applied Arts (Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg) is a museum of applied arts highlighting design, photography, fashion and graphic arts and crafts.

Khalili has assembled his collection of Islamic art under the auspices of The Khalili Family Trust. With holdings of more than 28,000 objects documenting the range of artistic production of the Islamic lands over a period of some 1400 years, the Collection now ranks among the best in the world and represents a new generation of Islamic art collections.  \n  \nThe Collection includes an outstanding array of manuscripts of the Holy Qur’an and of illustrated manuscripts, and the coverage of the decorative arts – ceramics, textiles, glass, metalwork and lacquer as well as seals and coins – is comprehensive.  \n  \nThe holdings of manuscripts and folios of the Holy Qur’an are the first to have been assembled systematically in order to illustrate the whole history of Qur’an production, both in terms of time span and geographical range – from the 8th to the 20th centuries, and from Morocco to China. Similar sequences have been assembled for painting and the decorative arts. Glass, ceramics and metalwork, for example, are represented in the full range of techniques from the pre-Islamic period through to the 19th century.  \n  \nLater Islamic art has been given the same level of attention. The wealth of important objects and manuscripts from later periods in the Collection shows that much art worthy of our attention on aesthetic as well as historical and intellectual grounds was produced in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Another important art form of this period is Islamic lacquer, represented in the Collection by more than 500 examples.  \n  \nThe catalogue of the Collection is an unprecedented 27-volume series, of which several are now published, and when completed will form a unique survey of the field to date. *Studies in the Khalili Collection* is a second series of publications related to the Islamic art collection, presenting more detailed analysis of certain objects.  \n  \n**Hajj and the Arts of Pilgrimage Collection**  \n  \nFor some 40 years, and under the auspices of The Khalili Family Trust, Professor Nasser D.

With over 3000 objects, the Hajj and the Arts of Pilgrimage Collection is now one of the largest and most important of its kind and includes major objects, many of which are unique.  \n  \nThe objects range in date from the 8th to the 20th centuries and geographically from China and India in the east to Morocco and the United Kingdom in the west. They include some 250 woven and embroidered textiles made for the two holy sanctuaries at Mecca and Medina, seven covers for the Egyptian and Syrian *mahmal*s, Qur’ans, illustrated manuscripts, scientific instruments, coins, paintings, rare books, prints, photographs and postcards, as well as important archival material and some unique historical documents.  \n  \nGiven its size and diversity, the Collection provides a comprehensive overview of Hajj, illustrating the religious, spiritual, cultural and artistic aspects of pilgrimage to the holy cities of Islam and the cosmopolitan nature of Hajj.  \n  \nFor several years now, the material has been undergoing a thorough programme of conservation which is soon to be completed, and research in preparation for its publication in a number of volumes is well advanced.

Between 1838 and 1896, this early museum occupied different places of the lower Casbah, before settling in a beautiful park located on the heights of Mustapha Pasha - now known as the Park of Liberty - where it was officially inaugurated in 1897.  \n  \nSince then these two divisions of the museum’s collection, Antiquity and Islamic, have continued to grow. This collection makes it possible to exhibit the history of Algeria from its Libyan-Punic era through to the 20th century.

From the beginning it granted free admission to all “studious and curious persons”. The founding collection was that of Sir Hans Sloane, a wealthy physician and collector. The original British Museum comprised three departments: Printed Books; Manuscripts (including coins); and Natural and Artificial Productions, which included everything from sculpture to mineral samples and zoological specimens. In January 1759 the British Museum opened its doors to the public.  \n  \nAs a product of the Enlightenment, the museum's job was to be a storehouse of knowledge for the use and benefit of the public, advancing all fields of scholarship. The museum therefore aimed to collect all kinds of material; it remains one of the few places in the world in which it is possible to see the world under one roof. During the 19th century the museum acquired representative collections of Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Assyrian antiquities, as well as material from across the Islamic world.  \n  \nThe museum itself had to grow to offer space to display the growing collections. Between 1823 and 1847 the original building was replaced by four large wings built around a central courtyard. In 1854 construction began on the iconic Round Reading Room in the central courtyard. The natural history collections were given their own home in the new Museum of Natural History in 1881. By 1973 the British Library and British Museum were administratively separated, and in 1999 the new British Library building opened at St Pancras. The British Museum site was expanded and modernised.

The museum was renamed the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts after the declaration of the republic and moved to its present location in the 16th-century Ibrahim Paşa Palace in 1983.  \n  \nThe core collection of the museum comprises Islamic artworks collected from across the Ottoman Empire at the beginning of the 20th century. These works include carpets, manuscripts, metalwork, glassware, ceramics, woodwork and ethnographic materials. The collection represents an extensive period ranging from the rise of Islam to the 20th century and the vast geographical area ruled by the Ottoman Empire.  \n  \nThe carpets, numbering some 1,700, in their quality and variety constitute one of the most important collections of carpets in the world, so that the museum is sometimes thought of as a carpet museum. But the museum also has other outstanding collections: the manuscripts collection represents all the ruling Islamic states from the AH 1st / AD 7th century to the 20th century across a wide geographical area. The metalwork collection allows visitors to follow the development of Turkish metalwork in Anatolia and the rich collection of woodwork ranges from the AH 3rd / AD 9th century to the Ottoman period.

Khalili has assembled his collection of Islamic art under the auspices of The Khalili Family Trust. With holdings of more than 28,000 objects documenting the range of artistic production of the Islamic lands over a period of some 1400 years, the Collection now ranks among the best in the world and represents a new generation of Islamic art collections.  \n  \nThe Collection includes an outstanding array of manuscripts of the Holy Qur’an and of illustrated manuscripts, and the coverage of the decorative arts – ceramics, textiles, glass, metalwork and lacquer as well as seals and coins – is comprehensive.  \n  \nThe holdings of manuscripts and folios of the Holy Qur’an are the first to have been assembled systematically in order to illustrate the whole history of Qur’an production, both in terms of time span and geographical range – from the 8th to the 20th centuries, and from Morocco to China. Similar sequences have been assembled for painting and the decorative arts. Glass, ceramics and metalwork, for example, are represented in the full range of techniques from the pre-Islamic period through to the 19th century.  \n  \nLater Islamic art has been given the same level of attention. The wealth of important objects and manuscripts from later periods in the Collection shows that much art worthy of our attention on aesthetic as well as historical and intellectual grounds was produced in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Another important art form of this period is Islamic lacquer, represented in the Collection by more than 500 examples.  \n  \nThe catalogue of the Collection is an unprecedented 27-volume series, of which several are now published, and when completed will form a unique survey of the field to date. *Studies in the Khalili Collection* is a second series of publications related to the Islamic art collection, presenting more detailed analysis of certain objects.","city":"London","website":"http://www.khalilicollections.org","email":"info@nourhouse.com"},"d2b9c791-32d7-590a-9a1b-3f6766d360d6":{"name":"Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani Museum (FBQ Museums)","description":"Founded in 1998 by H.E.

It represents, in effect, a modern version of a ‘Cabinet of Curiosities’, the historic and eclectic room of marvels from the Renaissance.  \n  \nThe journey through more than 30 galleries ranges from the prehistoric to the present day, encompassing several themes: Islamic art, Qatari heritage, carpets, weapons, vehicles, jewellery and currency.

It prides itself on its multi-cultural scene with a prosperous Muslim community representing the largest non-white Scottish group in the city and in Scotland. The Glasgow Museums collection is the biggest managed by any local authority in the United Kingdom and one of a handful of municipal collections that are recognized to have national importance. This service was founded in 1854 with the McLellan collection of European paintings, which was donated to the people of Glasgow by Archibald McLellan together with a building to house it. At present Glasgow manages thirteen public museums covering a wide range of subjects.  \n  \nGlasgow’s Islamic collections come from all over the world with objects from Africa, Spain, the Middle East and Central Asia. The oldest items date back to the 10th and 11th centuries. The earliest objects to enter the museums’ collections were donated in the 1870s. Though many of these are private donations, some were purchased by the museum service. The Islamic collections are mainly housed at The Burrell Collection, The St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art, Glasgow Museums Resource Centre, and Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.  \n  \nThe main strength of the Islamic collections lies in the large donation of Sir William Burrell and his wife, who gifted their massive and varied collection to Glasgow in 1944. It includes Iranian and Mughal Indian ceramics and carpets, Turkish and Uzbek textiles and embroideries, and Hispano-Moresque lustrewares. The other Islamic collections of Glasgow Museums include objects from Mughal India, Fatimid and Mamluk Egypt and Syria, the Ottoman Middle East, and 19th century Berber and Arab North Africa. In addition to all of the above, Glasgow Museums is interested in developing its contemporary Islamic collections by welcoming donations of modern Islamic arts and crafts, as well as strengthening the other areas within its Islamic collections.","city":"Glasgow","address":"The Burrell Collection  \nPollok Country Park  \n2060 Pollokshaws Road  \nG43 1AT  \nGlasgow, United Kingdom","website":"http://www.glasgowlife.org.uk/","phone":"+44 141 2872550","fax":"+44 141 2872597"},"de2dbebd-e2b6-5434-b061-c35adc183958":{"name":"Udayas Museum (National Museum of Jewellery)","description":"**Historical Description**  \n  \nCreated in 1915, the Oudayas Museum is one of the oldest public museums in Morocco, along with the Batha Museum in Fez. The Oudayas Museum contains one of the largest museum collections in the country.  \n  \nA landmark in the history of Morocco, the Oudayas Casbah was originally a fort built by the Almoravids (10th–12th centuries) on the cliff overlooking the Bouregreg estuary. In the 12th century, under the Almohads, Abdelmoumen renovated the fort into a royal residence and defensive post in support of the conquest of the Iberian Peninsula. In 1609, Philip II of Spain expelled nearly one million Moriscos – descendants of Muslims who at that time were living in Spain under Christian rule. Among these were 2,000 Arabic-speaking Muslims, the Hornacheros, who settled in the Oudayas Casbah and established an independent republic that engaged in piracy. The turbulent history of the Bouregreg estuary ended with the Alaouite Sidi Mohammed bin Abdellah (1757–89).  \n  \nThroughout its history the Oudayas Casbah has been the site of major construction works, including Bab el-Kebir, the monumental Almohad gate; the rampart of the Alaouite sultan Moulay Rachid; and the princely residence of Moulay Ismaïl (1672–1727).  \n  \n**The Museum**  \n  \nBuilt in the former pavilions of the sultan Moulay Ismaïl, the Oudayas Museum is an Andalusian-inspired architectural masterpiece.

All currently displayed collections of manuscripts, coins, astrolabes, clothing, carpets, cabinetry, weapons, and so on, are from the Islamic period.  \n  \nThe first room features silver and gold-plated jewellery from the High Atlas, Middle Atlas, Anti-Atlas and the Sahara.

Este servicio fue fundado en 1854 con la colección de pintura europea McLellan, que fue donada a la gente de Glasgow por Archibald McLellan junto con un edificio para albergarlo. En la actualidad, Glasgow gestiona trece museos públicos que cubren una amplia gama de temas.  \n  \nLas colecciones islámicas de Glasgow proceden de todo el mundo con objetos de África, España, Oriente Medio y Asia Central. Los elementos más antiguos se remontan a los siglos X y XI. Los primeros objetos que entraron en las colecciones de los museos fueron donados en la década de 1870. Aunque muchos de estos son donaciones privadas, algunos fueron adquiridos por el servicio del museo. Las colecciones islámicas se encuentran principalmente en The Burrell Collection, The St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art, Glasgow Museums Resource Centre y Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.  \n  \nLa principal fortaleza de las colecciones Islámicas radica en la gran donación de Sir William Burrell y su esposa, quienes obsequiaron su enorme y variada colección a Glasgow en 1944. Incluye cerámica y alfombras Iraníes y Mogoles, textiles y bordados Turcos y Uzbecos, y Lustrewares Hispano-Moriscos. Las otras colecciones Islámicas de los museos de Glasgow incluyen objetos de la India Mogol, los Fatimíes y Mamelucos de Egipto y Siria, el Oriente Medio Otomano y los Bereberes y Árabes del norte de África del siglo XIX. Además de todo lo anterior, los museos de Glasgow están interesados en desarrollar sus colecciones Islámicas contemporáneas dando la bienvenida a las donaciones de artes y artesanías Islámicas modernas, así como en el fortalecimiento de las otras áreas dentro de sus colecciones Islámicas.","city":"Glasgow","address":"The Burrell Collection  \nPollok Country Park  \n2060 Pollokshaws Road  \nG43 1AT  \nGlasgow, United Kingdom","website":"http://www.glasgowlife.org.uk/","phone":"+44 141 2872550"},"de2dbebd-e2b6-5434-b061-c35adc183958":{"name":"Udayas Museum (National Museum of Jewelry)","description":"**Descripción histórica**  \n  \nFundado en 1915, el Museo de los Udayas es uno de los museos públicos más antiguos en Marruecos, junto con el Museo Batha en Fez.

Desde 1838 en adelante el museo exponía piezas de la Antigüedad de procedencia argelina y piezas posteriores hasta el final del Imperio Otomano. Entre 1838 y 1896 este museo ocupó diferentes ubicaciones en la baja kasbah, antes de establecerse en un hermoso parque, localizado en las propiedades de Mustafa Pasha, que ahora se conocen como *el Parque de la Libertad*, donde se inauguró oficialmente en el año 1897.  \n  \nDesde entonces las dos divisiones de la colección del museo, la de la Antigüedad y la Islámica se enriquecieron.

Par ailleurs, les musées de Glasgow s’attachent à développer leurs collections islamiques contemporaines en accueillant des donations d’art et d’artisanat islamiques modernes, et en renforçant les autres domaines de ses collections islamiques.","city":"Glasgow","address":"The Burrell Collection  \nPollok Country Park  \n2060 Pollokshaws Road  \nG43 1AT  \nGlasgow, United Kingdom","website":"http://www.glasgowlife.org.uk/","phone":"+44 141 2872550","fax":"+44 141 2872597"},"de2dbebd-e2b6-5434-b061-c35adc183958":{"name":"Musée des Oudayas","description":"**Présentation Historique**  \n  \nCréé en 1915, le musée des Oudayas constitue, avec le musée Batha de Fès, la plus ancienne institution muséale publique du Maroc, et regroupe une des plus importantes collections muséographiques du pays.  \n  \nHaut lieu de l’histoire du Maroc, la Casbah des Oudayas était à l’origine un fort édifié par les Almoravides (Xe-XIIe siècle) sur la falaise dominant l’estuaire du Bouregreg. Sous les Almohades (XIIe siècle), Abdelmoumen réaménage le fort en résidence princière et appui défensif pour les besoins de la conquête de la péninsule Ibérique. Lorsque Philippe II d’Espagne expulse en 1609 près d’un million de Morisques, 2000 Hornacheros s’installent dans la Casbah et finissent par instaurer une République indépendante qui s’adonne à la piraterie. L’histoire agitée de l’estuaire du Bouregreg trouve sa fin avec l’Alaouite Sidi Mohammed ben Abdellah (1757-1789). Au cours de son histoire, la Casbah des Oudayas a connu de grands travaux de construction, notamment Bab el-Kebir, la porte monumentale almohade; le rempart du sultan alaouite Moulay Rachid ; la résidence princière de Moulay Ismaïl (1672-1727).  \n  \n**Le Musée**  \n  \nAménagé en 1915 dans les anciens pavillons du sultan Moulay Ismaïl, le musée des Oudayas est à lui seul un chef-d’œuvre architectural d’inspiration andalouse. Initialement constitué à partir de collections particulières (Libert: céramiques, cuivres et bois ouvragés; Besancenot: bijoux d’argent), il s’est continuellement enrichi de nouvelles acquisitions. Actuellement, toutes les collections de manuscrits, monnaies, astrolabes, costumes, tapis, ébénisterie, armes, etc., sont de la période islamique.  \n  \nLa première salle présente des bijoux en argent et en argent doré du Haut-Atlas, du Moyen-Atas, de l’Anti-Atlas et du Sahara. Les deux loggias abritent des céramiques émaillées bleues ou polychromes du XIXe et du début XXe. Viennent ensuite les costumes et accessoires d’apparat, surtout citadins, et enfin une collection de parures en or d’une grande valeur esthétique et historique.","city":"Rabat","address":"Musée National des Bijoux (Ancien musée des Oudayas)  \nCasbah des Oudayas  \nRabat, Morocco","phone":"+212 537 731537","fax":"Not available"}}
