The Splendors of Islam





Curators Randall Jarrell, Wendy Lees McMullen, Ken Lyons, Beth Remak-Honnef, and Irene Reti assembled books and materials highlighting the library's extensive holdings in Islamic architecture, music, decorative arts, book arts, calligraphy, textiles, and science.

There was a listening station with a selection of musical styles and genres from throughout the Islamic world, and a display of musical instruments as well. The exhibit was enhanced by an array of textiles, jewelry, and weavings from Central Asia.
