Virtual Lecture Series | Facing Mecca: Reflections of Islam in Art
10 AM | Online via Zoom
Islam has inspired a variety of sacred art, but the scope of its influence also extends into the secular realm and to cultures across the globe. Experience the complexity and breadth of Islamic art through objects from the collection of the Asian Art Museum and learn how, after becoming the most highly regarded art form in West Asia, calligraphy spread its beauty around the world.
This one-hour virtual lecture by one of our community speaker docents is followed by a half-hour Q&A.
