Museum of Islamic Art Berlin (German: Pergamon Museum), founded in 1910, situated on the Museum Island in Berlin, Germany. The museum is subdivided into the antiquity collection, the Middle East museum, and the museum of Islamic art. Their collections encompass the fields of European and non-European art, archaeology and ethnology from virtually all nations, cultures, and periods.
History
The Staatliche Museen zu Berlin falls under the auspices of the umbrella organization of the Stiftung Preussischer Kulturbesitz (or ‘Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation’), which also presides over the Staatsbibliothek (Berlin’s state library), the Geheimes Staatsarchiv (archives of the former state of Prussia), the Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut, and the Staatliche Institut für Musikforschung and its museum of musical instruments. The Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation was established in 1957 to preserve and expand on the cultural legacy of the former state of Prussia. [1]
Collection
The collection contains works of art, cultural artefacts, and archaeological finds from Islamic peoples and societies that range in date from late antiquity to the last century. Its exhibits stem objects from an area that extends from the southern and eastern Mediterranean region and Spain across Anatolia, the Middle East and Central Asia all the way to India.
The famous Berlin collection of carpets, with its array of intensely luminous patterns, largely ranges in date from the early Modern Period (16th to 18th century). It was also in this period that the Aleppo Room was crafted. Its astonishingly ornate, painted wood panelling makes it an undoubted highlight in the collection. [2]
