Gallery of the Islamic World exhibition opens at the British Museum

The collection represents an extensive array of material, including well-known masterpieces of Islamic art and the objects of the everyday, ranging from archaeology, coins, shadow puppets, traditional textiles and dress, to the arts of the book and contemporary art.

The magnificent Albukhary Foundation Gallery of the Islamic World is the result of several years of planning and detailed research, in collaboration with colleagues both inside and outside the Museum. The aim has been to rethink how the Islamic world could be displayed to present the collection in new and exciting ways for our visitors, and to show the cultural diversity of this vast region.

Real World Records was delighted that Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan‘s classic recording of ‘Allah Hoo Allah Hoo’ from Love & Devotion was chosen to be included as part of the audio guide of the gallery.
