The Museum of Fine Arts has announced plans to double the size of its space for Islamic art, with new galleries opening in early 2023. The expansion of the exhibition space is the result of a 15-year-long initiative carried out by the museum to increase its Islamic art holdings.
The new exhibition spaces, spanning 6,000 square feet, will be located in the museum’s Caroline Wiess Law Building. An outdoor space inspired by Islamic gardens will also be opened as part of the plan. The galleries will bring to display works spanning various mediums, from paintings, manuscripts, and ceramics to textiles and metalwork. The objects derive from regions throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Africa; their origins span 1,000 years.
