Anniversary Projects
Islamic Ceramics from the TNM Collection
October 4, 2022 (Tue) - January 22, 2023 (Sun)
Asian Gallery (Toyokan) Room 5
The term “Islamic ceramics” refers to ceramics created mainly in the areas corresponding to present-day Iran, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, and Turkey from the 7th century. From the 1910s to the 1940s, the Museum acquired rare examples of Islamic ceramics and further enriched its collection through purchases and donations. For the first time ever, this thematic exhibition presents a comprehensive look at the Museum’s collection of Islamic ceramics.
