"This is a remarkable period in the Islamic world when intense convergence between the cultures of the East and West took place," says Judith Henon, deputy director of the Louvre's Department of Islamic Art and curator of the exhibition.
She explains that the event not only showcases how the design and aesthetics of different patterns flourished, but also bears witness to the dynamic process through which cultures and arts absorb, collide, and reorganize each other while in motion. Many of the exhibits are being shown to the public for the first time since being acquired by the Louvre.
