Enjoy the exhibition “Arts of Islam

0

With a very fine collection of Islamic art, the Museum of Fine Arts of Dijon joins the national operation Arts of Islam – A past for a present, which deploys a series of 18 exhibitions in as many cities in France. These events consider the Islamic world in all the diversity of its cultures. In Dijon, a selection of major works from the Musée des Beaux-Arts and the Louvre, from the Dole Library and even from the FRAC Bourgogne, powerfully testify to the richness of the artistic and cultural exchanges established between the European continent and the major centers of Islam over time. Let’s go on a trip around the world and in time!
