Past Traveling Collections

Featuring more than 100 extraordinary works of art from The Newark Museum of Art’s collections, Wondrous Worlds: Art & Islam through Time & Place  showcases the long history, vast geographic scope,  and cultural diversity of works of art in the Islamic world.

Two factors distinguish this exhibition: the inclusion of works from Southeast Asia and East and West Africa, areas largely overlooked in most exhibitions of Islamic art; and the inclusion of modern and contemporary works featured displayed side-by-side with historical objects.

Works in the exhibition cover a wide range of media spanning 1,400 years of artistry, from including carpets,  to textiles,   to jewelry, ceramics, glass, metal, paintings, prints, calligraphy, and photographs spanning 1,400 years of artistry.

This exhibition is no longer available for travel.
