A smiling young woman, sitting in a light-colored room with exposed brick walls, gestures toward a turquoise plaque that appears to be floating. Modeled in low relief, the plaque is decorated with the motif of a niche surrounded by Arabic calligraphy.

Additional information

Featured works include a bronze ritual wine vessel (late 11th–early 10th century BCE), cast in China during the Zhou dynasty, a plaque with a mihrab motif from 13th-century Iran (Seljuk-Ataberg period), and The Miracle of the Sacred Fire, Church of the Holy Sepulchre (1892–99), an ambitious painting by Englishman William Holman Hunt, based on his multiple trips to the Holy Land. Emerging from Carney’s studies of comparative religion and the history of art and architecture, the tour encourages visitors to embrace multisensory experiences during and beyond their museum visit.
