Islamic History, Culture Section Planned at S. Korea Nat’l Museum

IQNA – A new permanent section dedicated to Islamic history and culture is planned to be opened up in South Korea's national museum in Seoul.

It will be launched on Nov. 22 for the first time, according to The Korea Herald on Friday.

The National Museum of Korea's new section is the result of a collaboration with the Museum of Islamic Art in Qatar.

The Islamic exhibition will join others dedicated to India and Southeast Asia, Central Asia, China, Japan and ancient Greece and Rome, on the third floor of the World Art Gallery.

It will feature around 80 data-x-items loaned from the Qatari museum collection, including early Quran manuscripts, intricate ceramics, metalworks and paintings that trace the evolution of Islamic art from the 7th to the 20th century.
