Renovated Galleries for the Art of Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia and Later South Asia: The Metropolitan Museum of Art , NYC: Part 2

 As I mentioned before, one of the highlights of this gallery is how they display the artworks.  The selling is from Islamic art influenced part of Spain. 


 I love how the sailing ship looked so modern. Almost Marimekko-ish.



 Damascus Room: Syria, Damascus


Another "restored" rooms. The museum did a great job installing computer panels in each of those rooms, which include videos of how the rooms are done, showing videos step by step. It's just amazing. You can see those videos at their HP.
