Launch www.discoverislamicart.org
Dear Colleagues,
I am delighted to be able to inform you that Museum With No Frontiers (MWNF)
launched its Virtual Museum Discover Islamic Art on 9 December 2005. This
project has been realised with the support of the European Union under the
Euromed Heritage programme.
42 museums from 14 countries of the European Union, North Africa and the
Middle East - Algeria, Egypt, Germany, Italy, Jordan, Morocco, the
Palestinian Authority, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey and
the United Kingdom - are participating in this Biggest Islamic art Museum
of the World (Der Tagesspiegel, 9 December 2005).
The Discover Islamic Art Virtual Museum includes a Permanent Collection
(presenting 1,235 objects, monuments and archaeological sites from the 14
countries in Arabic, English and French), a Database*, a section dedicated
to the Partner Museums as well as a Travel Book platform. A Temporary
Exhibition space will be inaugurated in spring 2007.
Visitors to the website can now follow the Exhibition Trails launched by
MWNF in nine countries around the Mediterranean through 81 thematic
itineraries presenting Islamic art and architecture from the Umayyad period
until the Ottomans.
We look very much forward to your visit and please do not hesitate to
contact me should you have any further queries.
Mehmet Kahyaoglu
Art Historian, M.A.
Assistant to Head of the Project
* Please note that some of the translations are still in progress; from
September 2006 all descriptions as well as the Database will be available in
the three afore-mentioned languages as well as in the local language of each
country.
