Join Dr. Aimée Froom, curator of Art of the Islamic Worlds, on a tour of the exquisite galleries for Islamic Art at the MFAH. The galleries, which include works from the al-Sabah Collection, one of the greatest collections of Islamic art in the world, and the Hossein Afshar Collection, a significant selection of Persian masterworks on extended loan to the museum, is due to the launch of a 2007 initiative at the museum spearheaded by a group unique to Houston, philanthropists with strong cultural-heritage links to historically Islamic lands. The MFAH has devoted permanent gallery space to Islamic art since 2012, and the new Hossein Afshar galleries nearly double previous display space for Islamic art. Hundreds of objects spanning more than 1,000 years reflect the breadth of historic Islamic lands, including present-day Afghanistan, Egypt, India, Iran, Iraq, Morocco, Pakistan, Spain, Syria, Tunisia, Türkiye, and Uzbekistan" (https://www.mfah.org/exhibitions/galleries/galleries-art-islamic-worlds).
