The new galleries for the Islamic world at the Metropolitan Museum in New York open November 1. The NY Times has a
review, with
slide show, and there is
much more on the museum web site.
What a wonderful collection. These pictures made me want to hop on the train to New York. I honestly don't remember seeing any Islamic galleries at the Met before; I think I was too caught up in classical sculpture and Renaissance paintings to notice anything else. But I will pay these galleries a visit next time.
