World culture: “Making the Invisible Visible. Conservation and Islamic Art” Exhibition in New York

April 2, 2013, the “Making the Invisible Visible. Conservation and Islamic Art” Exhibition will open in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York).

Conservators and conservation scientists made many exciting and interesting discoveries as they and the curators re-examined the Museum's collection of Islamic art prior to the reopening of the New Galleries for the Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and Later South Asia in November 2011.

This exhibition will trace their investigative journey with a range of works of art providing new perspectives for appreciating this extraordinary collection.
