For the first time in Singapore, the Louvre presents some one hundred masterpieces from the collections of the Department of Islamic Art, placed in dialogue with major works from the Asian Civilisations Museum. This exhibition highlights the virtuosity of artists in the service of the Mughal, Safavid and Ottoman courts, while revealing the distinct artistic culture of each of these empires.
Covering a vast historical and geographical scope, it offers a rich panorama of the exchanges and artistic circulations that, over the centuries, shaped the evolution of forms and motifs.
It is of particular importance for Singapore, as it fully situates Southeast Asia within this broader narrative.
