At the conclusion of the celebrations, Memorial Hall--which had been constructed as the Exhibition's art gallery-- remained open as the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art \"for the improvement and enjoyment of the people of the Commonwealth\".  \n  \nIn the first few decades, the collections consisted of objects of an industrial nature, as well as fine and decorative art objects such as European ceramics. Books were also among the Museum's earliest acquisitions, as were antique furniture, enamels, carved ivories, jewelry, metalwork, glass, pottery, porcelain, textiles, and paintings.  \n  \nIn the early 1900s, the Museum published its first collection handbook and initiated an Education program for the general public. It wasn't long before a Membership program was in place, and plans for a new building gained momentum in the following decade.  \n  \nDirector Fiske Kimball set the tone for a new era in the 1920s, and the opening of the new building on Fairmount--what is now the Main Building--opened with an attendance record of one million visitors in its first year. Valiant marketing efforts and the skillful leadership of President J. Stogdell Stokes helped to keep the Museum vital during the Great Depression of the 1930s, while the 1940s witnessed extraordinary growth in the collections with a number of important gifts--including the John D. McIlhenny Collection and the George Grey Barnard Collection.  \n  \nAcquisitions of the 1950s, such as the Louise and Walter Arensberg Collection and the A.E. Gallatin Collection, assured the Museum's prominence as a place in which to see masterpieces of early modern art. A number of period rooms were opened to the public as well, and the decade even saw the gift of Grace Kelly's wedding dress following her royal 1956 wedding to Prince Rainier III of Monaco.  \n  \nConservation of objects and the renovation of the building were themes of the 1960s, with major gifts including The Mr. and Mrs. Carroll S. Tyson, Jr. Collection, The Samuel S. White III and Vera White Collection, 71 objects from designer Elsa Schiaparelli, and Marcel Duchamp's enigmatic *Étant donnés*. Renovation was a continued theme in the 1970s, as the institution prepared for grand celebrations in honor of the Museum's Centennial and the nation's Bicentennial.  \n  \nThe 1980s witnessed still more growth, with acquisitions ranging from Edgar Degas’s *After the Bath* to Cy Twombly's *Fifty Days at Iliam*. During the 1990s, the Museum made great technological strides as it prepared to leap into the 21st century. Many operations became computerized, greater energy-saving measures were implemented, and new enhancements and re-organization projects were seen both inside the galleries and outside on the grounds.  \n  \nThe Museum transitioned into the new millennium with ease, and continued to navigate the changes that the first decade would bring with grace and strength. Now, with an astonishing history behind it, the Philadelphia Museum of Art is poised to meet the decades to come as one of the nation's foremost destinations in which to see world-class art.","city":"Philadelphia","address":"2600 Benjamin Franklin Parkway  \nPhiladelphia, PA 19130","website":"https://www.philamuseum.org/","phone":"215 763 8100","email":"eaartinfo@philamuseum.org"},"1d0ff55d-dcd7-59a9-b95d-18903aa4ab05":{"name":"Benaki Museum","description":"The Benaki Museum is the largest and oldest museum in Greece operating as a foundation under private law.

Reflecting this awareness, in December 1998 Malaysia became home to Southeast Asia’s largest museum of Islamic art. 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. On the roof, these artisans turned the dome-construction traditions of Central Asia into the building’s crowning glory. 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. Laboured over by craftsmen from Uzbekistan, these imposing features help form an ambience that is both airy and harmony. The seamless continuity of light and space is maintained throughout the galleries and into other areas of the museum, such as the library and the restaurant.","city":"Kuala Lumpur","address":"Jalan Lembah Perdana  \n50480 Kuala Lumpur  \nMalaysia","website":"www.iamm.org.my","phone":"+603 20927070; +603 22742020","email":"info@iamm.org.my"},"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.

Since its beginning, the Museum of Applied Arts realised the importance of handicrafts and industrial design and has collected contemporary and historical applied artworks from several sources. The core of the historical collection consists of artefacts provided by the Hungarian National Museum (Magyar Nemzeti Múzeum). However, the contemporary collection has been accumulated through various purchases at world fairs (such as Vienna 1873, Paris 1878 and Paris 1889) and generous gifts from companies, like Herend Porcelain Manufactory (Herendi Porcelánmanufaktúra Zrt) and Zsolnay (Zsolnay Porcelánmanufaktúra Zrt). As the artefact collections expanded, a building was erected to accommodate their growth--the designated Museum of Applied Arts building was opened on 25 October 1896. The grand event marked the end of Hungary's Millennium celebrations and was attended by the monarch, Francis Joseph I.  \n  \nThe Museum of Applied Arts possesses one of the largest historic carpet collections worldwide. One-fourth of this circa 800-piece collection consists of Ottoman Turkish carpets from the 15th-19th centuries, making it the world's second most extensive collection of Turkish carpets. Ottoman Turkish carpets from the 16th and 17th centuries are especially present within the Museum of Applied Arts. Hungary and Transylvania's geographic location allowed for diplomatic and trade connections to acquire expensive oriental goods – horse trappings, exquisite textiles, weapons and carpets – resulting in the Museum of Applied Arts preserving a unique and great variety of Ottoman Turkish carpets from the 16th and 17th centuries.","city":"Budapest","address":"1091 Budapest,  \nÜllői út 33-37,  \nHungary  \n  \nPOSTAL ADDRESS:  \n1475 Budapest, Pf. 271.","website":"http://www.imm.hu","phone":"+36 1 4999 300","email":"titkarsag@imm.hu"},"29bb1769-bb2e-5b37-ad87-8c30a9e69ed4":{"name":"Victoria and Albert Museum","description":"The Victoria and Albert (V&A) is the world’s leading museum of art and design, with collections unrivalled in their scope and diversity.

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. 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.  \n  \nFor the Baroque period the Museum's holdings include many outstanding European artefacts, especially in the applied arts, including one of the largest collections of Baroque church art in Croatia.","city":"Zagreb","address":"Trg maršala Tita, 10  \n10000 Zagreb  \nCroatia","website":"http://www.muo.hr","phone":"+385 1 4882111","email":"muo@muo.hr"},"36670bdc-150b-5f89-8906-79b8e4e2518d":{"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"},"36dd7a00-ac4e-5317-9673-604bbb89af53":{"name":"Museum of Oriental Art (Fondazione Torino Musei)","description":"Turin’s new Museum of Oriental Art marks the culmination of various strands of interest in this field: the city boasts a long tradition of Oriental studies at the university – backed by the presence of a major centre for specialised research (CESMEO), while the past few years have seen a growing realisation of the need to create specific instruments to further our knowledge and understanding of distant cultural worlds. A museum that displays artistic creations from different cultures not only fulfils its own vocation as a repository for their conservation and exhibition, but above all prompts visitors to expand their own ethnocentric horizons.  \n  \nThese were some of the underlying grounds that led to the idea of creating a Museum of Oriental Art (MAO), in Turin based on the redefinition, renewal and expansion of the Oriental Section of the Civic Museum of Ancient Art.  \n  \nThe new museum, stands in one of the city’s most lively and fascinating areas, is housed in Palazzo Mazzonis, which was built between the 17th and the 18th century, known, which was formerly owned by the Marquis Solaro della Chiusa before being passed in 1870 to Chevalier Paolo Mazzonis, a textile magnate. After becoming the head office of the Manifattura Mazzonis, extensive improvements were carried out, especially on the first floor. The Mazzonis business failed in 1968 and the building remained unused. It was purchased by Turin City Council in 1980 and restored to house a section of the law court from 1982 to 2001 and finally, after appropriate restoration became site of a museum.  \n  \nThe Museum now contains some 1500 works from all over Asia.

A significant group of early carpet fragments is from Egypt and Spain is also in the collection; several of which are dated by inscription to the 9th century.  \n  \nThe Textile Museum’s rotating exhibitions, which draw from its collections and loans from other institutions, are internationally recognized for presenting the best in textile art. In its new home at GW, The Textile Museum has expanded impact, bringing new opportunities for teaching and learning to the university community and the public. From integrating with the university’s diverse academic disciplines to introducing an ambitious new contemporary art program to training the next generation of museum professionals, the museum is inspiring new audiences to appreciate textiles as art and understand their significance in the lives of individuals and communities around the world.","city":"Washington, D.C.","address":"701 21st Street,  \nWashington, D.C.  \nUSA","website":"http://www.museum.gwu.edu","phone":"202 994 5200","email":"museuminfo@gwu.edu"},"6d8bcff6-37d5-5dc8-9b55-6a190d2d6369":{"name":"National Museum Machado de Castro","description":"The collections of this museum, in Coimbra, showcase the richness of the Church and the importance of royal patronage in Portugal, both of which account for the large number of works of art and religious objects on display.  \nNoteworthy are the monochrome and polychrome sculptures, in wood and stone, featuring the best Flemish workmanship and documenting the evolution of the Portuguese schools from the Middle Ages through to the 18th century.  \nAlso worthy of mention are the paintings, gold and silverware, ceramics and textiles, made both in Portugal and imported; the archaeological collections from the city of Coimbra and the Oriental art.  \n  \nThe museum opened on 11 October 1913 in premises that had been built between the 12th and 18th centuries to accommodate the bishops of Coimbra, and which had since been converted into a museum.

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. 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. The ethnographic department is the newest section.  \n  \nThe museum also organises, hosts and participates in temporary national and international exhibitions.  \n  \nAfter the grand restoration works The Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts re-opened in April 2014, exactly 100 years after its foundation, with special exhibitions to celebrate its hundredth anniversary.","city":"İstanbul","address":"İbrahim Paşa Sarayı Atmeydanı Sok.

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"},"77acfda5-2885-5fb7-ac55-8d070a83e4c2":{"name":"Department of Antiquities of Jordan","description":"The Department of Antiquities (DoA) of Jordan was established in 1923 under the management of Mr. Ridha Tawfeq who relocated it from Jarash to Amman.

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.

The palace continued as a residence for successive rulers of Naples. The dynasties of the Bourbons, the French kings Joseph Bonaparte and Joachim Murat and the House of Savoy each left their mark on Capodimonte.  \n  \nThe exceptional core group of Italian Renaissance painting was brought to Capodimonte in 1735 by Charles VII who inherited the renowned Farnese collection from his mother. Many of these artworks were commissioned by his famous ancestors Pope Paul III and Cardinal Alessandro Farnese directly from Michelangelo, Titian, Raphael and the greatest artists of 16th-century Italy. Over time, the collection of Capodimonte has been significantly expanded by acquisitions made successive royal families, by works brought to the museum from Neapolitan churches and convents and by important donations from private collectors. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, the palace was an essential stop for the young intellectuals and aristocrats on the Grand Tour.

During the last third of the 19th century, the period in which the museum was founded and established, textiles had become an essential segment within the collections of applied arts museums. The Saxon textile industry was another major factor leading to the establishment of an extensive textile collection in the city of Leipzig. The collection includes woven fabrics, embroidery, carpets and other textile work created by using various techniques such as appliqué, print and batik dye. The range of textile art is immense and encompasses not only clothing and fashion but also areas such as interior design, textiles as picture carriers and contemporary art. Non-European objects and historical textiles from Europe make up a major part of the collection. At the same time, thanks to the Grassifair, which is held annually, the museum has been able to steadily collect new textiles by current artists. This has culminated in the collection’s extensive selection of wall hangings from the 20th century.

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"},"c0c2fa4f-c38c-578e-8cc1-4703cc60b8a9":{"name":"Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts","description":"The Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts was the first museum in Turkey to bring together works of Islamic art.

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. 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. The ethnographic department is the newest section.  \n  \nThe museum also organises, hosts and participates in temporary national and international exhibitions.  \n  \nAfter the grand restoration works The Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts re-opened in April 2014, exactly 100 years after its foundation, with special exhibitions to celebrate its hundredth anniversary.","city":"İstanbul","address":"İbrahim Paşa Sarayı Atmeydanı Sok.

Among the chronological galleries, are complementary thematic exhibits that present specific subjects irrespective of their time. The displays focus is on the story of innovation. The original context and the function of artefacts is emphasised rather than treating them as “objects d’art”. Treasures of Jordanian Art displays unique aesthetic objects from the collection. On permanent exhibit is the most ancient human statues in the world, the 9700-year-old *‘Ayn Ghazal’* statues, and the unique Dead Sea Copper Scroll.  \n  \nIn addition to the permanent galleries, there are temporary indoor and outdoor exhibition areas.

The palace was built in the 17th century by the architects Ponzio and Vasanzio inside the largest park in Rome and was intended to provide a suburban villa and accommodate Cardinal Scipione Borghese’s passion for collecting. A kind of museum before the term existed, it houses one of the most enchanting collections of art in the world, with works by Raphael, Titian, Caravaggio, Lanfranco, Domenichino, Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Canova, the 18th-century room in Egyptian style and even a huge collection of Roman sculptures, ancient mosaics as well as precious wood furnishings.  \n  \nThe origin of the collection stemmed from Scipione’s interest in antique and classical art and his desire to exalt the nobility of his family, but later it was enriched with gifts and acquisitions. In particular, in 1607, through the requisition of the paintings from Cavalier d’Arpino workshop and the acquisition of Della Porta and Ceuli collections, the cardinal took possession of dozen of works of art; in 1608 he bought 71 extraordinary paintings belonging to Cardinal Sfondrato, including the famous *Amor sacro, Amor profano* by Titian.  \n  \nAt the end of 1700s Marco Antonio IV Borghese entrusted Antonio Asprucci to launch a radical renovation that followed the modern criteria of the neoclassical style. In 1805 Camillo Borghese commissioned the sculptor Canova to portray Pauline Bonaparte as a *Venus Victrix*. A serious loss was sustained in 1807, when over 695 works were sold to Napoleon and moved to the Louvre in Paris. Since 1833 a trust forbade any other dispersal until 1902, when the Galleria Borghese was acquired by the Italian state.","city":"Rome","address":"Piazzale Scipione Borghese, 5  \nI-00197 Roma  \nItaly","website":"http://galleriaborghese.beniculturali.it/it","phone":"+39 06 8413979","email":"sspsae-rm.galleriaborghese@beniculturali.it"},"e916188b-3d88-5514-afb4-d5123a65224f":{"name":"National Museum of Antiquities and Islamic Art","description":"The National Museum of Antiquities and Islamic Art is the oldest museum in Algeria and Africa. 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.

Then it undertook its first excavation in 1910 in the vicinity of Doronka in Upper Egypt and a second excavation south of Cairo uncovering a section of the city of Fustat (first Islamic capital of Egypt).  \n  \nThe museum acquired many items through donations. King Fu’ad I gave a valuable collection of textiles, scales and seals as did King Farouk, Amir Muhammad Ali and Amir Yusuf Kamal.

The number of recorded objects has now reached 103,000.  \n  \nThe collections include enamelled glass lamps, Egyptian ceramics and a rare collection of filigree waterpot filters of unpainted earthenware renowned for their lacework designs.

Como departamento del Museo Nacional de Historia, el museo era principalmente de naturaleza arqueológica y tenía como objetivo mostrar los orígenes de la civilización occidental. Sin embargo, en 1982, se le añadió una gran parte de las colecciones suecas de arte islámico, en respuesta a la creciente comprensión de los países mediterráneos como una región de estrechas relaciones e interacciones a lo largo de los siglos. Con su incorporación, en 1999, en el Museo Nacional de Cultura del Mundo, una organización formada por los cuatro museos estatales suecos con colecciones extranjeras, el enfoque cambió a la diversidad de la cultura dentro de la región del Mediterráneo y en relación con el resto del mundo.  \n  \nLa colección Islámica del museo consta de cerámica, trabajos en metal, textiles y miniaturas, principalmente de Irán y Turquía. También incluye colecciones muy conocidas como la denominada colección de fragmentos de vidrio Hannibal. Aunque Suecia no limita con tierras Islámicas, hay muchos objetos culturales en archivos, bibliotecas y otros museos que dan testimonio de sus relaciones diplomáticas y comerciales con los países islámicos. Se seleccionaron ejemplos de estas instituciones para caracterizar el desarrollo de las colecciones Islámicas en Suecia.  \n  \nLa colección Islámica se exhibe en dos salas accesibles desde la sala principal. A modo de introducción, la forma de vida musulmana está representada por objetos de un contexto religioso. La exposición en sí muestra artefactos de diferentes regiones y períodos y de diversos materiales de acuerdo con las tradiciones estéticas. Situada cerca de hallazgos de otras culturas mediterráneas, la exposición anima a los visitantes a comprender las relaciones, tradiciones e influencias.","city":"Estocolmo","address":"Fredsgatan 2  \nBox 16008  \n10321 Stockholm, Sweden","website":"http://www.varldskulturmuseerna.se/medelhavsmuseet/","phone":"+46 010 456 12 00","email":"info@medelhavsmuseet.se"},"6da08597-8da7-5d02-a911-09a5273c1265":{"name":"Further Associated Museums","description":"**Museum of National Antiquities (Historiska Museet)**  \nBox 5428  \nNarvavägen 13–17  \n114 84 Stockholm  \nTel.: +46 8 51955600  \n[www.historiska.se](http://www.historiska.se)  \n  \n**Museum of Ethnography (Etnografiska museet)**  \nDjurgårdsbrunnsvägen 34,  \nBox 27140,  \n102 52 Stockholm  \nTel.: +46 010 4561299  \n[www.varldskulturmuseerna.se/etnografiskamuseet/](http://www.varldskulturmuseerna.se/etnografiskamuseet/)  \n  \n**National Museum of Fine Arts (Nationalmuseum)**  \nBox 16176  \n103 24 Stockholm  \nAddress for visitors: Södra Blasieholmshamnen  \nTel.: +46 8 51954300  \n[www.nationalmuseum.se](http://www.nationalmuseum.se)  \n  \n**Royal Coin Cabinet (Kungl.

Inicialmente fueron atendidos por dos instituciones separadas, el Museo Nacional de Antigüedades de Escocia, con sus orígenes en la fundación en 1780 de la Sociedad de Anticuarios de Escocia, y el Museo Real de Escocia, fundado en 1854 como Museo Industrial de Escocia. En 1985, estas dos organizaciones se fusionaron para formar los Museos Nacionales de Escocia. Hoy, el NMS funciona en siete sitios. Dentro de Edimburgo, los NMS incorporan el Museo Real, el Museo de Escocia, el Museo Nacional de la Guerra y el Centro Granton, una instalación de investigación, almacenamiento y conservación. Más lejos se encuentran el Museo del Vuelo, el Museo del Traje Shambellie House y el Museo de la Vida Rural Escocesa.  \n  \nLas colecciones del mundo musulmán se encuentran en gran parte en el Museo Real. Iniciadas en 1854, ahora son quizás las más completas fuera de Londres con ca. 5.000 piezas histórico-artísticas y etnográficas de importancia nacional o internacional, adquiridas mediante donación, legado, compra y trabajo de campo. Las colecciones, que datan del siglo IX al XX, comprenden cerámica, azulejos, vidrio, orfebrería, armas y armaduras, instrumentos musicales, pinturas, lacas, textiles, alfombras, vestidos, joyas y monedas del norte de África, Egipto, Arabia Península, Siria, Turquía, Irán, Afganistán y Asia Central.  \n  \nLas colecciones Iraníes son particularmente sólidas gracias al general de división Sir Robert Murdoch Smith KCMG (1885-1900), quien se convirtió en director del museo en 1885 después de una carrera en el Departamento de Telégrafos Indoeuropeos en Persia. Coleccionó una variedad de artefactos para el museo, que datan de los siglos XVI y XIX. Turquía también está particularmente bien representada con, entre otros, una excelente colección de cerámica de Iznik, un grupo importante de fragmentos de prendas de vestir otomanas tempranas y un conjunto significativo de material etnográfico del siglo XX del centro y sureste de Turquía.","city":"Edimburgo","address":"Chambers Street,  \nEdinburgh EH1 1JF","website":"http://www.nms.ac.uk","phone":"+ 44 (0)300 123 6789","email":"info@nms.ac.uk"},"8128a827-15fb-5166-902e-e23aab2a8fd7":{"name":"Museum for Islamic Art at the Pergamon Museum","city":"Berlin","address":"Geschwister-Scholl-Straße, 6  \n10117 Berlin  \nGermany","website":"http://www.smb.museum/museen-und-einrichtungen/museum-fuer-islamische-kunst/home.html","phone":"+49 30 266 42 5201","email":"isl@smb.spk-berlin.de"},"c0c2fa4f-c38c-578e-8cc1-4703cc60b8a9":{"name":"Museo de Artes Turcas e Islámicas","description":"El Museo de Arte Turco e Islámico fue el primer museo de Turquía que reunió obras de arte islámico.

El museo pasó a llamarse Museo de Artes Turcas e Islámicas después de la declaración de la república y se trasladó a su ubicación actual en el Palacio Ibrahim Paşa del siglo XVI en 1983.  \n  \nLa colección principal del museo comprende obras de arte Islámicas recopiladas de todo el Imperio Otomano a principios del siglo XX. Estos trabajos incluyen alfombras, manuscritos, orfebrería, cristalería, cerámica, carpintería y materiales etnográficos. La colección representa un período extenso que va desde el surgimiento del Islam hasta el siglo XX y la vasta área geográfica gobernada por el Imperio Otomano.  \n  \nLas alfombras, que suman unas 1.700, en su calidad y variedad constituyen una de las colecciones de alfombras más importantes del mundo, por lo que el museo a veces se considera un museo de alfombras.

La colección de trabajos en metal permite a los visitantes seguir el desarrollo del trabajo en metal turco en Anatolia y la rica colección de trabajos en madera abarca desde el siglo III / IX d.C. hasta el período otomano.

El departamento de etnografía es la sección más nueva.  \n  \nEl museo también organiza, acoge y participa en exposiciones temporales nacionales e internacionales.  \n  \nDespués de las grandes obras de restauración, el Museo de Artes Turcas e Islámicas abrió sus puertas en abril de 2014, exactamente 100 años después de su fundación, con exposiciones especiales para celebrar su centenario.","city":"Istanbul","address":"İbrahim Paşa Sarayı Atmeydanı Sok.

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.

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"},"559ab197-7289-5af4-a295-1118bde9afce":{"name":"Musée d’art islamique du Pergamon Museum (Museum für Islamische Kunst)","description":"**Le Musée d'Art Islamique est fermé d'octobre 2023 à mars 2027 en raison de travaux de rénovation et d'agrandissement.**  \n  \nAvec la présentation de la monumentale façade du palais omeyyade de Mchatta par l’empereur germanique aux musées de Berlin, la collection de tapis offerte par Wilhem von Bode et un prêt à long-terme de la collection d’art islamique de Friedrich Sarre, la collection d’art islamique fut installée dans l’un des bâtiments des Musées royaux (plus tard musées d’État) de Berlin en 1904. Depuis, la collection n’a cessé de s’accroître à travers des dons, acquisitions et produits de fouilles. En 1932 le musée acquérait les galeries nouvellement créées au Pergamon Museum.  \n  \nAprès la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la perte de bon nombre des grands tapis et la dispersion de beaucoup de pièces tant à Berlin-Est qu’à Berlin-Ouest, la collection fut finalement réunie dans de nouvelles galeries à l’intérieur du Pergamon Museum en 2000.  \n  \nLe musée abrite aujourd’hui l’une des plus prestigieuses collections d’art islamique du monde, en provenance de presque toutes les régions d’obédience islamique.

En tant que département du Musée national d’histoire, le musée fut d’abord à vocation archéologique, sa fonction étant de donner à voir les origines des civilisations occidentales. Mais en 1982, alors qu’on prenait de plus en plus conscience de l’importance des relations et interactions avec les pays méditerranéens au long des siècles, une grande partie des collections suédoises d’art islamique furent incorporées au musée. Avec son intégration en 1999 au Musée national des cultures du monde – une association des quatre musées abritant des collections étrangères –, l’éclairage fut réorienté vers la diversité des cultures tant au sein de la zone méditerranéenne qu’en relation avec le reste du monde.  \n  \nLa collection islamique du musée comprend des céramiques, des ouvrages de métal, des textiles et des miniatures, essentiellement iraniennes et turques. Elle comprend également des séries fameuses, notamment la célèbre “collection Hannibal” de fragments de verre. Bien que la Suède ne jouxte aucun pays islamique, il existe quantité d’objets culturels dans les archives, les bibliothèques ou les autres musées qui témoignent de ses relations diplomatiques et commerciales avec les pays islamiques. Des exemples provenant de ces institutions ont été sélectionnés pour illustrer le développement des collections islamiques en Suède.  \n  \nLa collection d’art islamique est exposée dans deux salles donnant sur le hall principal. Une introduction au mode de vie musulman y est illustrée par des objets issus du contexte religieux. Puis sont exposés des objets de différents matériaux, régions et périodes, classés par traditions esthétiques. Située à proximité de trouvailles archéologiques venant d’autres cultures méditerranéennes, l’exposition contribue à une meilleure perception des relations, des traditions et des influences.","city":"Stockholm","address":"Fredsgatan 2  \nBox 16008  \n10321 Stockholm, Sweden","website":"http://www.varldskulturmuseerna.se/medelhavsmuseet/","phone":"+46 010 456 12 00","email":"info@medelhavsmuseet.se"},"6da08597-8da7-5d02-a911-09a5273c1265":{"name":"Autres musées associés","description":"**Museum of National Antiquities (Historiska Museet)**  \nBox 5428  \nNarvavägen 13–17  \n114 84 Stockholm  \nTel.: +46 8 51955600  \n[www.historiska.se](http://www.historiska.se)  \n  \n**Museum of Ethnography (Etnografiska museet)**  \nDjurgårdsbrunnsvägen 34,  \nBox 27140,  \n102 52 Stockholm  \nTel.: +46 010 4561299  \n[www.varldskulturmuseerna.se/etnografiskamuseet/](http://www.varldskulturmuseerna.se/etnografiskamuseet/)  \n  \n**National Museum of Fine Arts (Nationalmuseum)**  \nBox 16176  \n103 24 Stockholm  \nAddress for visitors: Södra Blasieholmshamnen  \nTel.: +46 8 51954300  \n[www.nationalmuseum.se](http://www.nationalmuseum.se)  \n  \n**Royal Coin Cabinet (Kungl.

Initialement, elles étaient gérées par deux institutions distinctes, le Musée national des antiquités d’Écosse, issu de la fondation en 1780 de la Société des antiquaires d’Écosse, et le Musée royal écossais, fondé en 1854 en tant que Musée industriel d’Écosse. 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. La Turquie aussi est particulièrement bien représentée avec, entre autres, une excellente collection de céramiques d’Iznik, un important groupe de fragments de vêtements du premier âge ottoman et un ensemble considérable d’objets ethnographiques du XXe siècle provenant du centre et du sud-est de la Turquie.","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"},"8128a827-15fb-5166-902e-e23aab2a8fd7":{"name":"Musée d’art islamique du Pergamon Museum (Museum für Islamische Kunst)","description":"**Le Musée d'Art Islamique est fermé d'octobre 2023 à mars 2027 en raison de travaux de rénovation et d'agrandissement.**  \n  \nAvec la présentation de la monumentale façade du palais omeyyade de Mchatta par l’empereur germanique aux musées de Berlin, la collection de tapis offerte par Wilhem von Bode et un prêt à long-terme de la collection d’art islamique de Friedrich Sarre, la collection d’art islamique fut installée dans l’un des bâtiments des Musées royaux (plus tard musées d’État) de Berlin en 1904.

Ce secteur fut fondé en 1854 avec la collection McLellan de peintures européennes, offerte à la population de Glasgow par Archibald McLellan en même temps qu’un bâtiment destiné à l’abriter.

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.

Adibito a sede della manifattura, vide molti lavori di abbellimento soprattutto al primo piano ma con la crisi del settore tessile, la ditta Mazzonis cessò le attività nel 1968 ed il palazzo restò inutilizzato. Acquistato dal Comune di Torino nel 1980 ha ospitato gli uffici giudiziari dal 1982 al 2001, per divenire infine dopo gli opportuni restauri sede museale.  \n  \nIl patrimonio del museo comprende circa 1500 opere provenienti da vari paesi dell’Asia, allestite in base all’area di provenienza in cinque distinte “gallerie”, le quali hanno trovato una naturale corrispondenza nella struttura edilizia dell’edificio.  \n  \nIl MAO aspira alla più ampia rappresentazione della produzione artistica dei vari paesi dell’Asia, in quanto vi trovano spazio le più importanti tradizioni culturali di quel continente e ciò si coniuga con la preesistenza di significative collezioni presso diverse istituzioni della nostra città, i cui preesistenti nuclei collezionistici hanno direttamente ispirato l’articolazione del progetto espositivo del nuovo Museo secondo cinque aree culturali ben definite: Asia Meridionale, Cina, Giappone, Paesi Himalayani e Paesi islamici.  \n  \nL’ordine di presentazione delle opere e il corredo didascalico mirano a mettere in evidenza i punti di contatto e le interazioni creative tra i diversi paesi nei diversi momenti storici, reintroducendo un filo unitario nel percorso museale.  \n  \nIl MAO si propone inoltre quale strumento di mediazione culturale per i visitatori generalmente lontani dalle concezioni e dai climi culturali ai quali le opere esposte si riferiscono ed intende ispirare nel visitatore nuove forme di pensiero fino alla consapevolezza di quanto sia preziosa ogni espressione del sapere umano.  \n  \nIl MAO, infine, propone numerosi servizi al pubblico: postazioni multimediali poste lungo il percorso, approfondimenti e catalogazione on line offerta dal sito del museo, bookshop, possibilità di accesso alla Biblioteca d’arte ed all’Archivio fotografico della Fondazione Torino Musei, seminari, conferenze, convegni e mostre temporanee ed un’aula didattica.","city":"Torino","address":"Via San Domenico11  \n10122 Turin","website":"http://www.maotorino.it","phone":"+39 01 14 43 69 27","email":"mao@fondazionetorinomusei.it"},"8128a827-15fb-5166-902e-e23aab2a8fd7":{"name":"Museo di Arte Islamica al Pergamon Museum","city":"Berlin","address":"Geschwister-Scholl-Straße, 6  \n10117 Berlin  \nGermany","website":"http://www.smb.museum/museen-und-einrichtungen/museum-fuer-islamische-kunst/home.html","phone":"+49 30 266 42 5201","email":"isl@smb.spk-berlin.de"},"89f613d2-8723-5be8-8e46-487f9dae46f4":{"name":"Museo Nazionale Svizzero","description":"Il Museo nazionale svizzero (MNS) riunisce sotto lo stesso tetto il Museo nazionale Zurigo, il Castello di Prangins e il Forum della storia svizzera Svitto nonché il Centro delle collezioni di Affoltern am Albis.
