Wonders of Creation: Art, Science, and Innovation in the Islamic World invites viewers to explore the cosmos through the lens of a 13th century Islamic text. Experience a guided journey from the heavens to the earth, from the skies to the seas, through the intersections of art and science, and marvel at the expanse of the universe. Join us for an insightful conversation exploring Islamic visual culture and its relevance today, especially as seen through the inspiration of this topic on contemporary art.
