MFA Descriptive Tour on Zoom

For the March descriptive tour, the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) will explore its collection of Islamic arts. Islam is a religion and culture with its own unique artistic language. Encompassing works from countries of the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia, and works created within Muslim communities and societies across the globe, the MFA will look at art created as early as 950 to those of contemporary artists.

The MFA’s collection was established in 1870, the year the MFA was founded, and has grown to become one of the most important in the U.S. giving us the opportunity to explore textiles, ceramics, illuminated manuscripts, architectural elements, jewelry, and more.
