Leaves are falling outside but the flowers are blooming in our galleries! Curatorial fellow Janet O’Brien will guide you on a stroll through the lush gardens evoked in Islamic and South Asian art featured in a temporary installation. Along the way, you’ll view a magnificent 18th-century Persian carpet of a four-part garden (chaharbagh) design, contemporary glass birds by Turkish artist Felekşan Onar, and historical paintings from the South Asian collection that celebrate the abundance of nature. The installation is on view in the Art from Islamic Lands (2550) and South Asian Art (2590) galleries.


Led by:

Janet O’Brien, Calderwood Curatorial Fellow in South Asian and Islamic Art, Division of Asian and Mediterranean Art
