Take a look back through the extensive Arts of Islamic Lands collection on view at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston through Sunday, January 29, 2017.

Thought to be one of the greatest privately held collections of Islamic art in the world, the renowned al-Sabah Collection made its Houston debut with 67 objects ranging from carpets and architectural fragments to exquisite ceramics, metalwork, jewelry, scientific instruments, and manuscripts in 2013.

This recently expanded installation more than triples the display, increasing the art on view to some 250 works that showcase an impressive and comprehensive spectrum of Islamic art.

Entrance to this exhibition is included with general admission.
