Islamisk konst

Object description

The Islamic exhibition and Islamic art

The Museum of Mediterranean and Near Eastern Antiquities also has the largest and only permanent exhibition of Islamic art in Sweden. The collection shows objects in ceramics, metal, wood and textiles as well as book illustrations and miniature painting. It elucidates Islamic art from AD 600 to AD 1900.

Islamic art is a world rich in shapes and colours both on the objects and in the décor. Arabesques and star patterns, calligraphic script, and the narrative pictures, illustrations to poetry, culture and science characterize the art. Islamic art and culture are heirs in southern and the eastern Mediterranean area to the Hellenistic, Roman, Persian and older Christian cultures.

The museum’s Islamic exhibition and extensive program activity aim to provide valuable knowledge for the understanding of Islam in Sweden – and in the world - today. (www.medelhavsmuseet.se, 2010-09-08)

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
