When the museum opened to the public in 1852, its mission was to reform design by making works of art available to all, improving the public’s understanding of the subject and providing inspiration for designers and manufacturers. Today, the V&A’s collections span over 5,000 years of human creativity in virtually every medium and from many parts of the world.  \n  \nThe V&A comprises a family of sites, including the V&A in South Kensington, Young V&A located in Bethnal Green, V&A Dundee in Scotland, the V&A Wedgwood Collection housed in Barlaston, Stoke-on-Trent, V&A Gallery at Design Society in Shekou, China, and opening in 2024/25 will be V&A East located within the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford. Across these sites the museum showcases their collections to a wide range of audiences and aims to champion design and creativity in all its forms.  \n  \nThe V&A has specialised in collecting art and design from the Islamic world since the 1850s, and it was the first institution in the world to collect Islamic art in a systematic fashion. The museum's founders believed that Islamic ideas about structuring patterns and matching decoration to shape and function could improve British design. The collection grew to become the most significant in its field. Outstanding works include the AH 10th / AD 16th-century Ardabil carpet from Iran, a rock crystal ewer from AH 5th / AD 11th-century Egypt, and the world’s greatest collections of Islamic ceramics. The museum also houses the national collection of Islamic textiles.","city":"London","address":"Cromwell Road  \nSouth Kensington  \nSW7 2RL  \nLondon  \nUnited Kingdom","website":"http://www.vam.ac.uk","phone":"+44 207 9422000"},"18e20431-88ff-5070-a722-ea79a4e19880":{"name":"The David Collection","description":"The David Collection was founded by C. 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","email":"museum@davidmus.dk"},"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.

The provenance of the collection is wide-ranging including the items from the geographical territories that now make up the countries of Spain, Egypt, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia and India. Chronologically the material covers an extensive period from the 8th to 19th centuries CE. The collection is arranged along different classes of production including; ceramics, metal works, miniatures, manuscripts, numismatics, jewellery, textile art, glass, arms & armour and wood.  \n  \nOf particular importance is the collection of archaeological finds from the palace of the Ghaznavid Sultan, Mas’ud III (1099-1115 CE) in Ghazni, Afghanistan. The archaeology of the site and its associated finds was brought to light by excavations conducted by the Archaeological Mission of the IsMEO (Istituto italiano per il Medio ed Estremo Oriente) in the 1960’s. These consist mainly of elements of architectural decorations in brick and marble, marble funerary stones, ceramics and metals.  \n  \nThe museum's collection of Persian objects can be dated from the 8th to the 19th centuries. Ceramics from the Samanid (9th- 10th century) and Seljuk (11th -12th century) periods are well represented in the Museum collections. Ilkhanid period ceramics (13th -14th century), known for their use of ‘lajvardina’ glaze technique is also visible in the collections.

It preserves, researches and presents its collections of archaeology, art and history to the public. In doing so, the museum aspires to offer all visitors an accurate, attractive, interesting and critical interpretation of the meaning of objects from the past, in the hopes that a deeper knowledge of history will help them to better analyse and understand the reality of today. Given the relevance and scope of its collections, the National Archaeological Museum is comparable in its specialty to prominent Spanish museums (Prado, Thyssen, Reina Sofía or the Royal Collections Gallery), by showing our country’s diversity and affluence in terms of cultural history.  \n  \nThe museum occupies a monumental building in the heart of the Salamanca quarter, one of Madrid’s busiest shopping and leisure districts, and is strategically positioned along the Recoletos-Prado artery, which boasts the highest concentration of art and culture institutions in the city. The museum’s magnificent building in the heart of Madrid offers a historical infrastructure — complete with building, garden and fence —which is fully renovated and accessible.  \n  \nThe MAN has grown and evolved constantly since it was created in 1867, almost 160 years ago, and is still changing today to meet the needs of the 21st century. After a complete overhaul between 2008 and 2014, the institution reopened in April 2014 with a brand-new look and layout, claiming its place among Europe’s most modern museums. The renovated building is divided into six floors and has a total surface area of nearly 30,000 m2, of which 18,304 m2 are reserved for public use (the permanent exhibition alone occupies 9,239 m2). The museum has also been fitted out with different service areas, including a spacious vestibule, café, shop and activity rooms.  \n  \nThe MAN’s extraordinary collection, which includes a large number of priceless historical and cultural artefacts, comprises over one million archaeological, historical and artistic objects.  \n  \nIts holdings are vast and varied: Palaeolithic bifaces, practically the only tool in existence for millennia; delicate ivory carvings that combine aesthetic appeal with practical functionality; prehistoric engravings found in the Cave of El Castillo, evidence of humanity’s earliest artistic and symbolic expressions; the abstract aesthetics of the “Idol of Extremadura”; the classical, timeless beauty of the Lady of Elche; ancient Roman sculptures; the extraordinary treasure of Guarrazar; the Romanesque crucifix of Ferdinand and Sancha; the lovely equestrian figure of Hector by Il Filarete; and the ornamental paintings of Luis Paret on a Baroque armchair are just some of the treasures it houses.  \n  \nThe Museum's Islamic Art collection largely comes from the different historical periods of Al-Andalus, the name that the Muslims gave to the territory they conquered in the Iberian Peninsula. The aesthetic quality achieved by Andalusian art is demonstrated in the architectural capitals, arches, marble panels and alabaster and plaster decorations of the period, especially from the Caliphate of Córdoba. Added to this is the museum's collection of decorative and highly refined objects made in the Andalusian palace workshops, such as metal, ivory and glazed ceramics. Likewise, a large collection of objects is preserved that show the symbiosis of Hispano-Islamic and Christian forms in the Iberian Peninsula, as the dome of the Torrijos Palace.","city":"Madrid","address":"Serrano, 13  \n28001  \nMadrid, Spain","website":"http://www.man.es/","phone":"+34 91 577 79 12","email":"secretaria.man@mecd.es"},"325b7505-1527-5442-99ea-6a40f8c43d3f":{"name":"Islamic Museum at Al-Aqsa Mosque","description":"The museum was officially inaugurated in AH 1341 / AD 1922.

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. In 2000 the Great Court opened, envisioned as a sunny piazza at the centre of the building, with up-to-date facilities such as lecture theatres, an education centre and facilities for school children, as well as restaurants and shops.

What began as a collection of assorted plaster casts, electrotype reproductions, and other examples of good design in various media rapidly gave way to a great and varied collection of original works of art spanning five millennia and six continents.

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. Khalili has been actively involved in assembling a notable collection of objects relating to Hajj, the fifth pillar of Islam and the one that lends itself most readily to artistic expression. 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. The volumes will include contributions by a number of international scholars who are leading experts in the numerous disciplines that this subject evokes.","city":"London","website":"http://www.khalilicollections.org","email":"info@nourhouse.com"},"6b099291-fe17-5f8d-bf0e-cc38d8747876":{"name":"National Archaeological Museum","description":"The National Archaeological Museum (Museo Arqueológico Nacional or MAN) is Spain’s most important museum of history.

First the desire to have a museum reflecting Scottish history and second the wish to have a museum demonstrating international cultures, natural and physical sciences, and decorative art for Scotland.  \n  \nThe Society of Antiquaries of Scotland was founded in 1780, very much in the spirit of the Enlightenment, to collect the archaeology of Scotland. Its collections passed into public ownership in 1851 as the original collections of the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland. In 1985 the National Museum of Antiquities was amalgamated with the Royal Scottish Museum. The latter was founded in 1854 as the Industrial Museum of Scotland and reflected the impetus of Victorian ideals of education. It started international collecting and research as well as forming close links to the collections and teaching of Edinburgh University, which continue today. Renamed the Edinburgh Museum of Science and Art, it opened in its first bespoke buildings, designed by Francis Fowke, on Chambers Street in 1866. The 1985 amalgamation created the largest multi-disciplinary museum in Scotland, with 12 million items in its collections and the largest body of curatorial and conservation expertise in the country. Today, National Museums Scotland includes the National Museum of Scotland, the National War Museum, and the National Museums Collections Centre - a research, storage, and conservation facility in Edinburgh, as well as the National Museum of Flight in East Lothian, and the National Museum of Rural Life in Lanarkshire.  \n  \nNational Museums Scotland started acquiring material culture from West Asia and North Africa in 1854. Today, material from West Asia comprises more than 4,000 items from a geographical area that spans from Turkey to Central Asia to Yemen, alongside over 500 objects in our collections from North African countries. Dating from the 7th to the 21st centuries, they give an insight into the past and the present of the people living in these regions, particularly through representations of their different crafts, and the skills and social values associated with them. The museum’s collections reflect British and Scottish collectors’ interests in the Islamic world and embody entangled colonial histories and interrelations.","city":"Edinburgh","address":"Chambers Street,  \nEdinburgh EH1 1JF","website":"http://www.nms.ac.uk","phone":"+ 44 (0)300 123 6789","email":"info@nms.ac.uk"},"7712e497-33e4-5529-91c3-47abff00f87c":{"name":"National Archaeological Museum","description":"The National Archaeological Museum (Museo Arqueológico Nacional or MAN) is Spain’s most important museum of history.

It serves as a tribute to the dam policy and water laws introduced by the late King Hassan II. It acknowledges the vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI in developing modern water infrastructure, which led to the National Water Strategy for 2030 and the National Water Plan for 2020–2050.  \n  \nThis museum is the first building specifically designed to showcase the history of water management in Morocco. Its inauguration was honoured by Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan on 5 January 2017, and it opened to the public in May of that year.

Of the many homes that Duke inhabited, Shangri La is the only one that she built from the ground up and filled from the inside out.  \n  \nThe five-acre complex integrates a 14,000-square-foot house, a Playhouse, and a pool, comprising a series of interlocking spaces, both indoors and out: rooms, courtyards, lanais, terraces, gardens, and numerous water features. While design and early construction were underway, Duke traveled extensively in the Middle East, visiting historical monuments and providing the architect with photographs of architectural decoration to be incorporated into Shangri La's design. She also placed large commissions with contemporary artisans in India, Morocco, Iran, and Syria to create art and architectural elements, utilizing traditional forms, patterns, and means of fabrication.  \n  \nFor nearly 60 years, Doris Duke continued to collect Islamic art, ultimately forming a collection of about 2,500 objects, many of which are embedded into the structure of the house. Iranian ceramic tile panels, carved and painted ceilings from Morocco, jali (perforated screen) doors and windows, and textiles and carpets create a living environment of Islamic art and architectural decoration.  \n  \nThe later centuries of production (c. 1600–1940) are better represented, and ceramics, metalwork, wood, glass and textiles are favored over the arts of the book and works on paper. The collection ranges from items of the finest artistic quality, including medieval Persian tilework and painted interiors from eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Damascus, to ethnographic objects such as leather saddles and a bedouin-style tent, reflecting Duke's broad and inclusive sense of aesthetics.  \n  \nToday, Shangri La is nationally recognized for its high artistic value and as one of Hawai'i's most architecturally significant homes. It is open to the public for guided tours and educational programs such as lectures, performances and occasional symposia.

The collection was set up in 1835, five years after the French occupation, by the then Governor General Marshal Clauzel who appointed Adrien Berbrugger as its first curator. From 1838 onward, the early museum hosted pieces, of Algerian provenance, from Antiquity up until the Ottoman periods. 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. The objects are displayed in two separate buildings: one houses the pre-Islamic collection whilst the other houses the collection of Islamic art, which was inaugurated in May 2003.  \n  \nThe ancient collection is very rich and includes collections of mosaics, sculptures, Libyan and Latin inscriptions, coins and medals, bronze, ivory, bone, ceramics and wooden objects.  \n  \nThe Islamic section was formed from the first collection of 1854, which included Algerian and Oriental objects. It has gradually been enriched by pieces uncovered through archaeological excavations carried throughout the country. This wide-ranging collection includes sculpted plasterboard from 10th century Sedrata, marble or plaster sculptures of the 11th century Qal'a of Beni Hammad as well as the chairs of the 11th century Almoravid mosques in Algiers and the 12th century mosque of Nedroma.  \n  \nThe furniture arts of North Africa is also widely represented in this museum.

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. In 2000 the Great Court opened, envisioned as a sunny piazza at the centre of the building, with up-to-date facilities such as lecture theatres, an education centre and facilities for school children, as well as restaurants and shops.

When the museum opened to the public in 1852, its mission was to reform design by making works of art available to all, improving the public’s understanding of the subject and providing inspiration for designers and manufacturers. Today, the V&A’s collections span over 5,000 years of human creativity in virtually every medium and from many parts of the world.  \n  \nThe V&A comprises a family of sites, including the V&A in South Kensington, Young V&A located in Bethnal Green, V&A Dundee in Scotland, the V&A Wedgwood Collection housed in Barlaston, Stoke-on-Trent, V&A Gallery at Design Society in Shekou, China, and opening in 2024/25 will be V&A East located within the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford. Across these sites the museum showcases its collections to a wide range of audiences and aims to champion design and creativity in all its forms.  \n  \nThe V&A holds the UK’s national collection of glass, and covers over 3,500 years of glassmaking. There is a small collection of very early glass from Ancient Egypt through to Ancient Rome acquired in the early years of the museum, but the core of the collection is particularly rich in vessel and art glass from the Middle Ages to the contemporary period. The museum holds examples of work from the Italian Renaissance, the Middle-East, 17th-20th century Britain and Europe, and contemporary art glass from around the world. The V&A also holds an important collection of stained glass from the medieval period onwards.","city":"London","address":"Cromwell Road  \nSouth Kensington  \nSW7 2RL  \nLondon  \nUnited Kingdom","website":"http://www.vam.ac.uk","phone":"+44 207 9422000"},"b3d5e8a5-90ae-5442-bf21-9067f8e77ed1":{"name":"Cerralbo Museum","description":"Cerralbo Palace, now Museum, was built between 1884 and 1892 in a historicist style with classical echoes, also shared by its garden.

A museum of international stature as well as a vital part of Southern California, LACMA shares its vast collections through exhibitions, public programs, and research facilities that attract nearly a million visitors annually.  \n  \nLACMA’s seven-building complex is located on twenty acres in the heart of Los Angeles, halfway between the ocean and downtown. The campus is undergoing a ten-year expansion and renovation known as the Transformation and designed by the Renzo Piano Building Workshop.  \n  \nLACMA’s collections encompass the geographic world and virtually the entire history of art. The museum houses a highly significant collection of Islamic art. These widely diverse arts, from an area extending from southern Spain to Central Asia, trace the distinctive visual imagination of Islamic artists over a period of fourteen hundred years. The collection consists of over 1,700 works, of which some 150 examples are on view; these include glazed ceramics, inlaid metalwork, enameled glass, carved wood and stone, and manuscript illustration, illumination, and calligraphy. Particular strengths of the collection are glazed pottery and tiles from Iran and Turkey; glass, especially from the late seventh to the mid-thirteenth century; and Persian and Turkish arts of the book.  \n  \nThe museum began to concentrate seriously on Islamic art in 1973, with the acquisition of the Nasli M. Heeramaneck Collection, the generous gift of Joan Palevsky. Although the Heeramaneck collection forms the nucleus of the Islamic holdings, the focus and scope of the collection have developed considerably since 1973. Two important additions, both gifts, occurred in the 1980s. In 1985 the noted collector Edwin Binney, 3rd, bequeathed more than one hundred works, in particular examples of the arts of the book and ceramics of the Ottoman period. Approximately fifty glass objects, primarily of the early Islamic period, from Hans and Varya Cohn's splendid collection were given to the museum in 1988. The collection has been augmented further over the past two decades through gift and purchase, most notably the acquisition in 2002 of the Madina Collection of Islamic Art, made possible in large part by a generous gift from longtime LACMA benefactor and Trustee Camilla Chandler Frost. Its addition has created a new international focus on Los Angeles and on LACMA.","city":"Los Angeles","address":"5905 Wilshire Boulevard  \nLos Angeles, CA 90036","website":"http://www.lacma.org/","phone":"323 857 6000","email":"publicinfo@lacma.org"},"b4586981-2102-51f3-a3a7-5094a3b23509":{"name":"Further Associated Museums","description":"**Numismatic Museum of the al-Maghreb Bank**  \nRabat, Morocco  \n  \n**National Library**  \nRabat, Morocco  \n  \n**Badi Palace**  \nMarrakesh, Morocco  \n  \n**Royal Library**  \nRabat, Morocco  \n  \n**Ethnographic Museum**  \nTetouan, Morocco  \n  \n**Archeological Museum**  \nTetouan, Morocco  \n  \n**Museum of Ceramics**  \nSalé, Morocco  \n  \n**Kasbah Museum**  \nTangiers, Morocco","city":"Rabat, Marrakech, Tetouan, Salé, Tangiers"},"b49b6caf-2037-5450-9920-62d736638529":{"name":"Madaba Archaeological Museum","description":"This museum was founded in 1974 in one of the old houses of Madaba that was purchased by the Department of Antiquities of Jordan and transformed into a museum.  \n  \nThis museum holds artefacts and finds that have been recovered during excavations in many archaeological sites in Madaba region.

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. The glassware and pottery collections include artefacts recovered during excavations at renowned Abbasid centres such as Samarra and Keshan (Iran) and Raqqa (Syria) as well as artefacts from the Anatolian Turkish period. The stonework, most bearing inscriptions, includes examples from the Umayyad, Abbasid, Mamluk, Seljuq and Ottoman periods.

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.

After the death of Abatellis, part of the building adjoining the palace was converted in 1527 into a convent for the Benedictine Nuns of the church of Santa Maria della Pietà. This was then later turned into a Dominican Monastery. During the Second World War, the palace sustained considerable bombing damage in 1943, leading to initiatives for its complete restoration. The museum was finally opened to the public on the 23rd of June 1954.  \n  \nThe present layout of the museum is the result of collaborative efforts between the curator Giorgio Vigni and the Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa throughout the years 1953-54.  \n  \nThe permanent museum exhibition is divided into two sections; sculpture is located on the ground floor whilst paintings are located on the upper floor.  \n  \nThe Gallery's collections come from acquisitions, donations and confiscations of property belonging to suppressed religious organisations.

Rivalling the most prestigious universities in Lebanon and abroad, and leading the process of human development that spread all over the country, its graduates became ambassadors of Lebanon in all the corners of the earth.  \n  \nOur university respects the national demand for academic freedom, which has become a right of scholars and specialists, based on laws and international conventions and regional organisations and sometimes more, applying the important rules of human rights: the right of learning and seeking knowledge with higher education and participation in international projects to develop academic programmes and exchange of research.The university has maintained the quality of higher education, although we seek more contact with the spirit of this modern age and its promising accomplishments by increasing relations and agreements with other universities and institutions all over the world. In spite of the political pressures on the people of the university and attempts to split them into factions, the majority of them have remained faithful to the spirit of the national organisation and the struggles of the early pioneers who insisted on building the edifice of national higher education, in the framework of the values of freedom and justice.","city":"Beirut","address":"Central Administration, Museum, Beirut  \n  \nPostal address: P.O.

The original core of this museum's contents was initially kept at the Madrasa al-'Adiliya. The collection gradually increased and the discovery of the Umayyad palace of Qasr al-Hayr al-Gharbi in the Syrian desert in 1936 further spurred into action plans for a newer and bigger museum. A building located next to Al-Takiyya al-Sulaymaniya was chosen for the establishment of the National Museum of Damascus.  \n  \nQasr Al-Hayr Al-Gharbi added new emphasis to the importance of devoting more attention to the Islamic period and the Directors of Antiquities decided to incorporate these palatial finds into the National Museum of Damascus. After much hard work and technical expertise, the front façade of the Qasr al-Hayr al-Gharbi was transposed and carefully reconstructed as the National Museum's main entrance. The side halls and the second floor were designated for the most important artistic finds of this early Islamic palace. The completion of the display took several years and the official opening was celebrated in 1950.  \n  \nIn 1953 a three-storey wing was added to house and display ancient oriental antiquities, the Islamic period, modern Syrian art, and temporary exhibitions.  \n  \nOne of the more recent extensions included three double halls for the Islamic period, a new lecture hall and a library. The lecture hall was furnished as a 19th-century Damascene reception hall, a masterpiece of late decoration and ornamentation in its own right. The opening of this extension took place in 1963.  \n  \nIn 1974 there were further additions, this time devoted to the Palaeolithic period. And lastly, in 2004, the temporary exhibition wing was transformed into a permanent collection of Neolithic antiquities.  \n  \nAt present, the National Museum of Damascus consists of the following sections:  \n  \n1\\.

The site is currently classified as a national monument and is the centrepiece of the Silves Museum’s permanent exhibition. The museum space also integrates the Almohad era city wall, making it not only a museum that exhibits a significant historical collection, but also a rare jewel of present day Portuguese Islamic heritage.  \n  \nSince its inauguration the museum has left its permanent collection, consisting of around 800 mostly ceramic objects, open to public viewing. The museum also contains a plethora of objects in reserve which were acquired through several archaeological excavations conducted throughout Portugal.  \n  \nCollection  \n  \nChronologically divided into five sections, the museum includes a collection of Palaeolithic, Neolithic, Chalcolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman era objects. Its collections are distinguished not just by the quantity but also by their exceptional quality and includes objects from the medieval Islamic periods. These constitute objects from the Umayyad Caliphate, the Taifa era, the Almoravid and the later Almohad dynasties, representing a long period of Islamic rule that ranged from the 8th to the 13th centuries CE. Due to the nature of the site, there is a strong representation of objects from the Almohad period between the 12th and 13th centuries, which attest to the richness and importance of Silves during this historic period.  \n  \nThe museum’s collection also exhibits a range of comparatively modern objects, from the 15th to the 17th centuries, which attest to the influential and complex network of trade routes between the city of Silves and other significant ports of the time.  \n  \nPublic Outreach  \n  \nThe museum has been developing a programme of temporary exhibitions from its own funds as a means to not only showcase certain presentations, but also strengthen cultural relations with countries that were historically linked to the municipality of Silves. Among these include projects with the Kingdom of Morocco.  \n  \nThe museum’s educational department plays a key role in the attraction and retention of the public awareness. This is done through prioritising communication with young audiences and providing them with tools that help interpret the museum’s archaeological collection.  \n  \nIt is through this approach that the pedagogic workshops were formed which, with the help of local artisans, offer a range of activities that help raise awareness towards the historic material culture showcased in the museum. These include pottery, ceramics, weaving and calligraphy. For other audiences who wish to experience a wider variety of themes, there are workshops centred on the local environment, heritage, playhouses, the sciences as well as tours that complement temporary exhibitions. Lastly, to stimulate further interest and promote the study of the collection, the museum has developed projects and activities with other international networks that have similar interests.","city":"Silves","address":"Rua Porta de Loulé, n. 14  \n8300-129  \nSilves, Portugal","website":"https://www.cm-silves.pt/pt/menu/547/museu-municipal-de-arqueologia-de-silves.aspx","phone":"+351 282 444 832","email":"museu.municipal@cm-silves.pt"},"fea32901-ad4a-5972-8043-fd04f11ab0ee":{"name":"Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia","description":"Interest in Islamic art has grown enormously in recent years.

The building occupies 30,000 square metres, situated amid the leafy surroundings of central Kuala Lumpur’s Lake Gardens.  \n  \nThe Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia houses more than ten thousand artefacts, as well as an exceptional library of Islamic art books. The art objects on display range from the tiniest pieces of jewellery to one of the world’s largest scale models of the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca. The aim is to create a collection that is truly representative of the Islamic world. Instead of concentrating on works from the heartlands of Persia and the Middle East, IAMM also puts the emphasis on Asia. China and Southeast Asia are especially well represented. The third component of the Malaysian melting pot is India, which is also given special status. India, China and the Malay World are in an exceptional category. Other parts of the collection are displayed according to type rather than geographical origins in the museum’s 12 galleries.  \n  \nIranian tile workers transformed the iwan-style entrance into a ceramic tapestry that frames a welcoming verse from the Qur’an.

The turquoise-coloured domes are now a landmark on the Kuala Lumpur skyline.  \n  \nInside the building, the angularity of 21st century design is contrasted with the soft, rounded forms of the five domes that dominate the museum’s interior.

La colección creció hasta convertirse en la más significativa en su campo. Entre las obras más destacadas se incluyen la alfombra Ardabil de Irán del siglo X / XVI d.

Desde el principio concedió entrada gratuita a todos los “estudiosos y curiosos”. La colección fundadora fue la de Sir Hans Sloane, un rico médico y coleccionista. El Museo Británico original constaba de tres departamentos: Libros impresos; Manuscritos (incluidas monedas); y Producciones Naturales y Artificiales, que incluían desde esculturas hasta muestras minerales y especímenes zoológicos. En enero de 1759 el Museo Británico abrió sus puertas al público.  \n  \nComo producto de la Ilustración, el trabajo del museo era ser un almacén de conocimiento para el uso y beneficio del público, avanzando en todos los campos de la erudición. Por tanto, el museo tenía como objetivo recopilar todo tipo de material; sigue siendo uno de los pocos lugares del mundo en el que es posible ver el mundo bajo un mismo techo. Durante el siglo XIX, el museo adquirió colecciones representativas de antigüedades Griegas, Romanas, Egipcias y Asirias, así como material de todo el mundo Islámico.  \n  \nEl museo en sí tuvo que crecer para ofrecer espacio para exhibir las crecientes colecciones. Entre 1823 y 1847, el edificio original fue reemplazado por cuatro grandes alas construidas alrededor de un patio central. En 1854 se inició la construcción de la icónica Sala de Lectura Redonda en el patio central. Las colecciones de historia natural recibieron su propio hogar en el nuevo Museo de Historia Natural en 1881. En 1973, la Biblioteca Británica y el Museo Británico se separaron administrativamente, y en 1999 se inauguró el nuevo edificio de la Biblioteca Británica en St Pancras.

Sus fondos albergan desde el bifaz paleolítico que durante milenios fue casi la única herramienta, a los delicados marfiles que aúnan el gusto estético con la función para la que fueron creados; de los grabados prehistóricos de la Cueva del Castillo, muestra de las primeras expresiones artísticas y simbólicas de la humanidad, pasando por la estética abstracta del llamado Ídolo de Extremadura, hasta la belleza clásica y permanente de la Dama de Elche; de las esculturas romanas, del extraordinario tesoro de Guarrazar o el crucifijo románico de Don Fernando y Doña Sancha hasta el bello Héctor ecuestre de Filarete o las pinturas de Luis Paret que ornan la barroca silla de mano.  \n  \nLa colección de Arte y cultura Islámica del Museo procede en gran medida de los diferentes periodos históricos de Al-Ándalus, nombre que los musulmanes dieron al territorio que conquistaron en la Península Ibérica. La calidad estética alcanzada por la cultura andalusí queda demostrada en los capiteles, arcos, paneles de mármol y decoraciones de alabastro y yeso de la época, especialmente del Califato de Córdoba. A esto se suma la colección del museo de objetos decorativos y de gran refinamiento elaborados en los talleres palaciegos andaluces, como metales, marfiles y cerámica vidriada. Asimismo, se conserva una importante colección de objetos que muestran la simbiosis de las formas andalusíes y cristianas en la Península Ibérica, como la cúpula del Palacio de Torrijos.","city":"Madrid","address":"Serrano, 13  \n28001  \nMadrid, Spain","website":"http://www.man.es/","phone":"+34 91 577 79 12","email":"secretaria.man@mecd.es"},"8a41ae85-1217-5a1f-a8f2-68da1d74234d":{"name":"Museo Nacional de Antigüedades y de Arte Islámico","description":"El Museo Nacional de Antigüedades y de Arte Islámico es el museo más antiguo de Argelia y de toda África. La colección fue creada en el año 1835, cinco años después de la ocupación francesa, por el gobierno del General Mariscal Clauzel, quien designó a Adrien Berburgger como Primer Curador. 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. Esta colección hace visible una exposición de la historia de Argelia desde el Periodo Libio-Púnico hasta el siglo XX. Las piezas se exhiben en dos edificios distintos: uno alberga la Colección Pre Islámica y el segundo la Colección del Arte Islámico y se inauguró en mayo de 2003.  \n  \nLa Colección de la Antigüedad es muy suntuosa, compuesta por mosaicos, esculturas, inscripciones libias y latinas, monedas y metales, bronce, marfil, objetos en hueso, cerámicas y obras en madera.  \n  \nLa selección Islámica creó la primera colección en el año 1854, incluyendo piezas argelinas y orientales. Gradualmente la colección se fue enriqueciendo tras el descubrimiento de nuevas piezas en excavaciones arqueológicas realizadas en diferentes partes del país. Esta variada colección incluye pladur esculpido de Serdata del siglo X, esculturas de mármol o yeso de Qal’a de Beni Hammad del siglo XI, así como sillas del siglo XI de las mezquitas almorávides de Argel y de la mezquita Nedroma del siglo XII.  \n  \nEl arte mobiliario norteafricano esta muy bien representado en este museo. Las coleciones cuentan con ropa bordada de la época otomana, cerámica, armas, joyería, obras en latón y en otros metales, procedentes de centros urbanos y rurales.

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.

Debido a la naturaleza del sitio, hay una gran representación de objetos del periodo almohade entre los siglos XII y XIII, demostrando la riqueza e importancia de Silves durante este periodo histórico.  \n  \nLa colección del museo también presenta una variedad de objetos del periodo moderno, entre el siglo XV y XVII, lo cual evidencia la influencia y la complejidad de la red de rutas comerciales entre la ciudad de Silves y otros puertos importantes de esa época.  \n  \nDifusión pública  \n  \nEl museo ha desarrollado un programa de exhibiciones temporales con sus propios fondos para no tan solo exponer ciertas presentaciones, sino también para fortalecer las relaciones culturales con países vinculados históricamente con el municipio de Silves. Entre estos se incluyen los proyectos con el Reino de Marruecos.  \n  \nEl departamento de educación del museo juega un papel importante en el interés y la retención del conocimiento público. Esto se realiza al darle prioridad a la comunicación con el público joven y proveer herramientas para ayudarlos a interpretar la colección arqueológica del museo.  \n  \nA través de este enfoque, se crearon talleres pedagógicos que, con la ayuda de artesanos locales, ofrecen diversas actividades que ayudan a crear conciencia de la cultura material histórica exhibida en el museo. Estas incluyen alfarería, cerámica, tejido y caligrafía. Para otros públicos que deseen experimentar una variedad más amplia de temas, hay talleres enfocados en el ambiente local, el patrimonio, los teatros, las ciencias, además de los recorridos que complementan las exhibiciones temporales. Por último, para estimular aún más el interés y para promover el estudio de la colección, el museo ha desarrollado proyectos y actividades con otras redes internacionales que tienen intereses similares.","city":"Silves","address":"Rua Porta de Loulé, n. 14  \n8300-129  \nSilves, Portugal","website":"https://www.cm-silves.pt/pt/menu/547/museu-municipal-de-arqueologia-de-silves.aspx","phone":"+351 282 444 832","email":"museu.municipal@cm-silves.pt"}}

Les collections d’origine étaient tout simplement constituées des objets rassemblés à titre de modèles pour les étudiants. L’inquiétude grandit encore avec la Grande Exposition tenue à Londres en 1851, une manifestation qui connut un succès extraordinaire, et qui dévoila à quel point le dessin britannique était en retard sur les autres nations. En réaction, le gouvernement réorganisa l’école comme un musée traditionnel. Fondé en 1852, le musée fut transféré vers son lieu actuel en 1857 et rebaptisé South Kensington Museum. Il changea à nouveau de nom en 1899 pour s’appeler Victoria and Albert Museum, en l’honneur de la reine régnante et de son époux le prince Albert.  \n  \nPour les fondateurs du musée, l’art du Moyen-Orient et de l’Afrique du Nord islamiques incarnait nombre des principes d’excellence qu’ils souhaitaient promouvoir en matière de dessin, et au cours des 150 années qui suivirent, le musée réunit l’une des plus importantes collections d’art islamique au monde. Aujourd’hui, elle comprend plus de 10 000 objets, qui vont du VIIe au XIXe siècle et du Maroc à l’Asie centrale. Parmi d’autres chefs-d’œuvre, il faut signaler le tapis iranien d’Ardabil (XVIe siècle), une aiguière égyptienne en cristal de roche (XIe siècle), et l’une des plus grandes collections de céramique islamiques. Le musée abrite également la collection nationale de textiles islamiques.  \n  \nActuellement, le musée procède à la restructuration de sa principale galerie d’art islamique moyen-oriental, autrement dit la Jameel Gallery of Islamic Art, qui ouvrira à l’été 2006. La nouvelle présentation a été conçue pour mettre en valeur les qualités visuelles de l’art islamique tant admiré au XIXe siècle, mais elle replacera aussi les objets dans leur contexte historique et social grâce à des supports pédagogiques interactifs. Elle mettra en scène une introduction thématique à l’art islamique et comportera des sections consacrées à l’empire ottoman et à l’Iran safavide et qajar. Une vitrine sera réservée aux expositions temporaires.","city":"London","address":"Cromwell Road  \nSouth Kensington  \nSW7 2RL  \nLondon  \nUnited Kingdom","website":"http://www.vam.ac.uk","phone":"+44 207 9422000"},"325b7505-1527-5442-99ea-6a40f8c43d3f":{"name":"Musée  islamique et bibliothèque Al-Aqsa","description":"Officiellement fondé en 1922, le musée a été transféré à son emplacement actuel dans l’angle sud-ouest du Haram al-Charif en 1929.

La deuxième était une mosquée ayyoubide (XIIIe siècle), connue dans l’histoire sous l’appellation de mosquée al-Malikiya ou jami’a al-Moughariba. La troisième pièce, connue sous le nom d’espace al-Fakhriya, remonte à la période mamelouke (XIVe siècle).  \n  \nLes collections se composent d’objets et de vestiges d’époques islamiques et non islamiques, et invitent à découvrir différents aspects de la civilisation islamique, classés d’après l’origine géographique, le thème et la période. La plupart des objets représentent l’héritage du Haram al-Charif, de Jérusalem et de la Palestine tout entière, y compris des villes comme Hébron et Naplouse.  \n  \nLe musée abrite des œuvres en bois de plusieurs périodes islamiques, la plus ancienne remontant à la période omeyyade. Le travail du métal est bien représenté, avec notamment une grille de fer de l’époque des Croisés, des chandeliers, épées, poignards, dais, encensoirs, pièces de monnaie, bagues et pièces commémoratives. Le musée possède aussi une collection de marbres provenant de la partie inférieure des murs octogonaux du Dôme du Rocher et des carreaux de faïence décoratifs datant des restaurations de la période ottomane. La collection d’inscriptions sur pierre couvre différentes périodes islamiques et préislamiques, tandis que les colonnes et les chapiteaux proviennent des périodes romaine, byzantine et islamique. Le musée peut également s’enorgueillir d’une riche collection de corans, le plus ancien étant du IXe siècle, et de quelque 1 000 documents mamelouks relatifs à la vie économique et sociale dans la Ville sainte.

La collection fondatrice fut cédée à la nation britannique par Sir Hans Sloane, un riche physicien et collectionneur, mort en 1753, contre paiement de 20 000 livres à ses deux filles. Outre la collection d’objets de Sloane et sa bibliothèque, le premier British Museum possédait quatre autres importantes collections de livres. C’est d’ailleurs à un bibliothécaire en chef qu’était confiée la direction des trois départements du musée: Livres imprimés (y compris la presse); Manuscrits (de même que monnaies et dessins) ; Productions naturelles et Productions artificielles, qui rassemblaient toutes sortes de pièces, de la sculpture aux échantillons minéraux, des momies aux spécimens zoologiques. En janvier 1759, le British Museum ouvrait ses portes au public.  \n  \nDans la mesure où l’Acte de 1753 incarnait les idées universalistes des Lumières, pour qui tous les arts et toutes les sciences formaient un seul et même vaste réseau de corrélations, la tâche du Musée était de faire progresser tous les champs du savoir pour les chercheurs et les “esprits curieux” – et pour le meilleur profit du grand public. En tant que dépositaire du savoir, le British Museum avait vocation à tout collectionner. Une telle position impliquait inévitablement un développement constant et la nécessité de bâtiments plus grands dans lesquels stocker des collections de plus en plus volumineuses. Entre 1823 et 1847, le bâtiment d’origine fut remplacé par quatre grandes ailes construites autour d’une cour centrale. La bibliothèque continua à s’accroître à un tel rythme qu’une nouvelle salle de lecture s’imposait. Les travaux commencèrent en 1854 par la construction, dans la cour centrale, de la nouvelle Salle de lecture ronde à coupole.  \n  \nDans les années 1860, le besoin d’un nouveau bâtiment capable d’héberger les collections d’histoire naturelle en plein développement était reconnu, et en 1881 le nouveau Muséum d’histoire naturelle ouvrait au public. En 1973, la British Library et le British Museum étaient séparés administrativement, et dans les années 1990, les travaux d’un nouvel édifice pour la bibliothèque furent entrepris. La nouvelle British Library ouvrit en 1999, laissant au British Museum l’opportunité de s’agrandir et de se moderniser. En 2000, le British Museum ouvrait la Great Court, conçue comme une piazza ensoleillée au centre du bâtiment, mais dotée d’équipements modernes tels que des salles de conférence, des restaurants, une cafétéria pour les scolaires et des boutiques.  \n  \nLa collection initiale du musée, qui comptait quelques objets islamiques, s’enrichit considérablement au cours des XIXe et XXe siècles par des achats, des dons et des legs. Avec le Victoria and Albert Museum, le British Museum abrite la plus importante collection de céramiques d’Iznik au monde. Les objets médiévaux en métal incrusté, les collections archéologiques, les œuvres sur papier et sur verre émaillé constituent d’autres ensembles de grande valeur. La collection, avec les pièces archéologiques, compte environ 40 000 objets.","city":"London","address":"Great Russell St., London WC1B 3DG  \nUnited Kingdom","website":"http://www.britishmuseum.org","phone":"+44 20 7323 8000 / 8299","email":"information@britishmuseum.org"},"42fb6391-e1f6-527a-85db-f9638b02d667":{"name":"Institut Supérieur d’histoire contemporaine de la Tunisie, Université de la Manouba","description":"L’I.S.H.C.T est un centre de recherche en histoire contemporaine de la Tunisie.

En 1985 ces deux organisations fusionnèrent pour donner naissance aux Musées nationaux d’Écosse (NMS). Aujourd’hui, les NMS fonctionnent sur sept sites. Dans la ville d’Édimbourg, les NMS comptent le Musée royal, le Musée d’Écosse, le Musée national de la guerre et le Granton Centre, un service de recherche, réserves et conservation. Ailleurs dans le pays se trouvent le Musée de l’air, Shambellie House (Musée du costume) et le Musée de la vie rurale écossaise.  \n  \nLes collections du monde musulman sont largement représentées au Musée royal. Commencées en 1854, ce sont peut-être aujourd’hui les plus importantes, en dehors de Londres, avec environ 5 000 objets d’art ou pièces ethnographiques d’importance nationale et internationale, acquises à travers des donations, legs, achats et fouilles. Les collections, qui couvrent une période allant du IXe au XXe siècle, comprennent des céramiques, des azulejos, des ouvrages de verre ou de métal, des armes et armures, des instruments de musique, des tableaux, des laques, textiles, tapis, vêtements, bijoux et monnaies d’Afrique du Nord, d’Égypte, de la péninsule Arabique, de Syrie, Turquie, Iran, Afghanistan et Asie centrale.  \n  \nLes collections iraniennes sont particulièrement riches grâce aux contributions du major général Sir Robert Murdoch Smith KCMG (1885-1900), qui fut nommé directeur du musée en 1885 après une carrière au Département indo-européen du télégraphe en Perse. Il recueillit pour le musée une série d’artefacts allant du XVIe au XIXe siècle.

Grâce à la pertinence et la portée de ses collections, le musée archéologique national est comparable, dans sa spécialité, aux éminents musées d’Espagne (Prado, Thyssen, Reina Sofia ou encore Galerie des collections royales) ; faisant découvrir la diversité et la richesse de l'histoire culturelle du pays.  \n  \nLe musée se trouve dans un impressionnant bâtiment au cœur du Salamanca, un des arrondissements de Madrid les plus animés en matière de shopping et de loisirs ; et est parfaitement placé sur l’artère Recoletos-Prado, qui revendique la plus grande concentration d’institutions artistiques et culturelles de la ville.

Ses fonds sont vastes et variées : des bifaces du Paléolithique, pratiquement le seul outil existant pendant des millénaires ; des sculptures en ivoire délicat qui combinent esthétique et praticité ; des gravures préhistoriques découvertes dans la grotte d'El Castillo, preuve de l’expression artistique et symbolique précoce de l’humanité ; l'esthétique abstraite de l'Idole de l'Estrémadure ; la beauté classique et intemporelle de la Dame d'Elche ; d’anciennes sculptures romaines ; l’extraordinaire trésor de Guarrazar ; le romanesque Crucifix de Ferdinand et Sancha ; la magnifique figure équestre d’Hector par Le Filarète ; et les peintures ornementales de Luis Paret sur un fauteuil baroque ne sont que quelques-uns des trésors que le musée abrite.  \n  \nLa collection d’art islamique du musée vient principalement des différentes périodes historiques d’Al-Andalus, nom que les musulmans donnèrent au territoire qu’ils avaient conquis dans la péninsule ibérique. La qualité esthétique de l’art andalous s’observe dans les chapiteaux, les arcs, les panneaux de marbre et les décorations en albâtre et en plâtre de l’époque, notamment au Califat de Cordoue. En outre, le musée offre une collection d’objets décoratifs et hautement raffinés fabriqués dans les ateliers du palais andalous, tels que le métal, l’ivoire et les céramiques en émail.

Dès 1838, il accueille les premières pièces antiques ainsi que quelques objets d’art ottoman de provenance algéroise, et procède ainsi à l’organisation du musée. De 1838 à 1896, le musée occupe différents endroits de la basse Casbah, avant de se fixer dans un beau parc situé sur les hauteurs de Mustapha Pacha – aujourd’hui Parc de la Liberté – où il est inauguré officiellement en 1897.  \n  \nDepuis, les collections des deux sections, antique et musulmane, ne cessent de s’enrichir.

Plus tard, le musée entreprit sa première fouille en 1910 dans les environs de Doronka en Haute Égypte, puis une seconde au sud du Caire, mettant au jour une section de la ville de Fustat (première capitale islamique d’Égypte).  \n  \nLe musée a acquis de nombreuses pièces grâce à des dons.

La collection s’enrichit progressivement, et la découverte du palais omeyyade de al-Hayr al-Gharbi dans le désert syrien en 1936 accéléra encore les projets d’agrandissement et de rénovation du musée. Un bâtiment situé près de la takiyya al-Sulaymaniya fut retenu pour l’établissement du futur Musée national de Damas.  \n  \nQasr al-Hayr al-Gharbi montra à quel point il importait de consacrer encore plus d’attention à la période islamique, et les directeurs des Antiquités décidèrent d’intégrer ces découvertes palatiales au Musée national de Damas. Après un travail considérable et une expertise technique approfondie, la façade principale de Qasr al-Hayr al-Gharbi fut transférée et soigneusement reconstruite comme entrée principale du Musée national. Les salles latérales et le second niveau furent affectés aux plus importantes trouvailles artistiques de ce palais datant des débuts de la période islamique. L’ensemble de l’opération prit plusieurs années et l’ouverture officielle eut lieu en 1950.  \n  \nEn 1953, une aile de trois niveaux fut ajoutée pour abriter et exposer les antiquités orientales, la période islamique et l’art syrien moderne, ainsi que les expositions temporaires.  \n  \nL’une des plus récentes extensions comprenait trois doubles salles dédiées à la période islamique, une nouvelle salle de lecture et une bibliothèque.

Cronologicamente il materiale ricopre un lungo periodo che va dall'VIII all'inizio del XIX secolo. Gli oggetti della raccolta afferiscono a diverse classi di produzione: ceramica, metallistica, miniatura, manoscritti, numismatica, gioielleria, arte tessile, vetri, armi ed armature e legni.  \nRicca è la collezione di reperti archeologici provenienti dal palazzo del Sultano ghaznavide Mas‘ud III (1099-1115) a Ghazni (Afghanistan), portato alla luce dagli scavi condotti dalla Missione Archeologica dell'IsMEO negli anni Sessanta. Si tratta soprattutto di elementi di decorazioni architettoniche in mattone cotto e in marmo, cippi funerari in marmo, ceramiche e metalli.  \nLe opere dall'Iran sono databili ad un arco di tempo che va dall'VIII al XIX secolo. Ben rappresentata è la produzione ceramica samanide (IX-X secolo), e quella selgiuchide (XI-XII secolo). Significativa è anche la produzione di periodo ilkhanide (XIII-XIV secolo) per l'uso della tecnica lajvardina e per le ceramiche cosiddette Sultanabad. Gran parte degli oggetti in metallo della raccolta islamica viene dalla regione del Khorasan (Iran orientale, Afghanistan occidentale), famoso centro di produzione metallurgica.  \n  \n\\*\\*\\*  \n  \nDal settembre 2016 il ***Museo Nazionale d'Arte Orientale* in Roma è confluito nel nuovo *Museo delle Civiltà***, chiudendo definitivamente nell’ottobre del 2017 per il trasferimento nella nuova sede nel Palazzo delle Scienze. In attesa del riallestimento definitivo previsto per la fine del 2021, un'esposizione temporanea, “Aperti per lavori” espone oltre 650 oggetti del museo orientale (di cui ca. 60 d’arte islamica) nelle sale del *Museo Pigorini*.","city":"Roma","address":"Museo delle Civiltà | Museo d’arte orientale “Giuseppe Tucci”  \nPiazza Guglielmo Marconi, 14  \n00144 Rome, Italy","website":"https://www.museodellecivilta.it/","phone":"+39 06 549521","email":"mu-civ@cultura.gov.it"},"53724213-926c-5852-9d55-d58f73ce9266":{"name":"Museo Agostino Pepoli","description":"Il Museo Pepoli è situato in un palazzo del ‘300, un tempo adibito a sede del convento dei Padri carmelitani.  \n  \nIl nucleo più importante della collezione che il museo conserva è costituito dalle collezioni private del Conte Agostino Pepoli, al quale appunto si deve, nel ‘900, la realizzazione del museo che porta il suo nome.  \n  \nA tali collezioni si aggiunsero poi opere provenienti dalla pinacoteca Fardelliana – soprattutto dipinti della scuola napoletana – ed altre opere ancora, provenienti dalle corporazioni religiose trapanesi.

Il Palazzo in cui ha sede il museo, un edificio tra i più significativi dell'architettura gotico-catalana nella Sicilia occidentale, venne edificato nel 1495 per volontà di Francesco Abatellis, Maestro Portulano del Regno, che ne fece la propria residenza. Morto l’Abatellis, l'edificio fu adibito, nel 1527, a convento per le suore benedettine della chiesa di Santa Maria della Pietà, attigua al Palazzo, e, poi a monastero delle domenicane. Gravemente danneggiato dai bombardamenti del 1943, il Palazzo venne restaurato interamente. Il Museo venne aperto al pubblico il 23 giugno 1954.  \n  \nL’ordinamento museale attuale si deve alla collaborazione tra il soprintendente Giorgio Vigni e l’architetto veneziano Carlo Scarpa negli anni 1953-54.  \n  \nL’esposizione fu divisa in opere di scultura al pianterreno e opere di pittura al piano superiore.  \n  \nLe collezioni della Galleria provengono da acquisizioni, donazioni ed incameramenti di beni di enti religiosi soppressi. Prima di confluire nell’attuale sede, tali opere fecero parte della Pinacoteca della Regia Università e poi delle collezioni del Museo Nazionale di Palermo. Le opere d’arte islamica conservate nella Galleria, in particolare, provengono per la maggior parte dalla città di Palermo, recuperate durante lavori di restauro e ristrutturazioni architettoniche dei più importanti siti monumentali arabo-normanni, tra i quali il palazzo dei Normanni (poi Reale), la chiesa di Santa Maria dell’Ammiraglio detta la Martorana, la non più esistente chiesa di san Giacomo la Mazzara e la casa Maturano, adiacente alla chiesa della Martorana. Altri manufatti, in particolare legni e ceramiche, sono stati acquistati dal direttore del Regio Museo Antonio Salinas tra la fine del XIX e l’inizio del XX secolo sui mercati antiquari, in particolar modo in Egitto.","city":"Palermo","address":"Via Alloro, 4  \n90133  \nPalermo, Italy","website":"http://www.regione.sicilia.it/beniculturali/palazzoabatellis/","phone":"+39 091 6230011","email":"gall.abatellis@regione.sicilia.it"}}

XX e hoje classificado como Monumento Nacional – que se tornou a peça central da colecção e do discurso expositivo. Cenograficamente integra também a muralha da cidade do mesmo período, funcionando, assim, não só como um museu onde as colecções expostas são muito significativas mas também como uma jóia do património islâmico em Portugal.  \n  \nAo longo destes quinze anos o Museu manteve aberta ao público a sua colecção permanente, cerca de 800 peças, na sua maioria cerâmicas, e reuniu nas suas reservas os espólios arqueológicos provenientes das escavações decorridas no concelho.  \n  \n**ESPÓLIO**  \n  \nDividido cronologicamente em cinco núcleos temáticos, o acervo do Museu reúne um conjunto de objectos do Paleolítico, os mais antigos, passando pelo Neolítico, pelo Calcolítico, pela Idade do Bronze, pela Idade do Ferro, pelo Período Romano e destaca-se, não só pela quantidade mas também pela qualidade e excepção, as peças do Período Medieval, com destaque para o Período Muçulmano – Omíada, Califal, Taifa, Almorávida e Almóada, desde o século VIII ao século XIII, na sua maior parte do período Almóada, dos séculos XII-XIII – como prova da riqueza e da importância da cidade naquele período histórico.  \n  \nA colecção tem ainda um conjunto de objectos do período moderno – séculos XV, XVI e XVII – que demonstra a influência das rotas comerciais e a importância das trocas e contactos da cidade com outras regiões do globo.  \n  \n**ACTIVIDADES de divulgação para públicos distintos**  \n  \nO Museu tem vindo a desenvolver um programa de EXPOSIÇÕES TEMPORÁRIAS, de produção própria, de forma a aprofundar alguns temas e materiais museológicos mas também as ligações culturais com países aos quais Silves esteve ligada historicamente. Destacamos os projectos com o Reino de Marrocos.  \n  \nO SERVIÇO EDUCATIVO é um dos pilares essenciais de atracção e de sedimentação dos públicos, e é por isso um eixo a que damos a maior prioridade. Comunicando com os mais novos damos instrumentos que ajudam a interpretar o espólio arqueológico do Museu.  \n  \nDesta intenção nasceram as OFICINAS PEDAGÓGICAS, destinadas ao público mais jovem, recriando com artesãos actividades artísticas que precisam da nossa atenção para serem preservados e apreciados: a olaria, a cerâmica, a tecelagem, a escrita. Para um público interessado nas actividades museológicas ligadas a temáticas tão variadas, como por ex., o ambiente, o património, o teatro ou a ciência, criámos as CONVERSAS À VOLTA DE… que complementam as exposições temporárias.  \n  \nPara incentivar e promover o estudo da colecção, o Museu tem desenvolvido projectos e actividades no âmbito de REDES INTERNACIONAIS temáticas.","city":"Silves","address":"Rua Porta de Loulé, n. 14  \n8300-129  \nSilves, Portugal","website":"https://www.cm-silves.pt/pt/menu/547/museu-municipal-de-arqueologia-de-silves.aspx","phone":"+351 282 444 832","email":"museu.municipal@cm-silves.pt"}}
