Islamic Art and Culture
Aloha! This week's focus is Islamic Art and Culture in Asia and the Pacific. Let's start with calligraphy - the noblest of all arts in Islam, according to the 'Islamic Art and Civilisation in Southeast Asia Exhibit' of the National Gallery of Australia. We have more as you scroll down to our list of publications and online resources. Plus, take advantage of the 'free admission' to our virtual galleries of Islamic treasures from around the world. Enjoy and email us your thoughts about themes and topics that you want us to feature on the MSAP newsletter and our social media sites.
Mahalo,
