Islamic Artworks at the Gallery
You’ve only got a couple of weeks left to catch the stunning Arts of Islam exhibition at The Art Gallery of New South Wales.
It features more than 350 rare artworks, including illuminated manuscripts and Qur’ans, colourful ceramics, luster-painted glassware, and stunning woven textiles.
All the pieces are from the collection of Professor Nasser David Khalili, an Iranian-born collector who has the largest private stash of Islamic art in the world. His amazing collection features early works from the 7th century right through to pieces from the early 20th century.
Adult tickets cost $15, but gallery members and concessions can see it for $10. Family passes are also available for $40.
The exhibition closes on September 23. This is a truly unique viewing experience, as the exhibition isn’t showing anywhere else in Australia.

Hi Jaime. I’m afraid I’m just a travel blog who promoted this exhibit - as I have no connection with its organisers or Dr Khalili I have no idea how to get in touch with him.
