Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: This gallery sheds light on Oman’s fourteen-hundred-year relationship with Islam, beginning in 6 AH/627 CE. Here, the origins and history of the Noble Qur’an are explained and exquisite examples of illuminated scripture are displayed. The advent of Islam in Oman is also discussed, and details of contributions made by Omani scholars in Islamic doctrinal sciences, natural sciences, Arabic language and literature are revealed through a collection of rare manuscripts.
A special gallery section dedicated to the traditional arts examines Oman’s earliest design motifs and traces the artistic influence of Islam in the evolution of calligraphic, geometric, floral and arabesque decoration, and in the depiction of the living. The evolving aesthetics of mosques and other forms of religious and civil architecture are also examined. |
