From the 16th to 18th century, three great empires – the Mughals, Safavids, and Ottomans – shaped a vast and interconnected world across Asia. This period marked the height of their influence, even as European expansion reshaped global trade and politics. Within and between these empires, artists produced works of remarkable beauty that projected authority and gave visible form to power.
This exhibition presents one hundred masterpieces from the Louvre, drawn from royal collections and later acquisitions. Southeast Asian objects from ACM’s collection are interwoven throughout, bringing these traditions into dialogue and revealing the crosscurrents that connected distant regions.
