Event Details

SICM is organising an Interfaith Trip to The British Museum to see the Albukhary Foundation Exhibition entitled “The Islamic World”.
We will be meeting at Rayners Lane station at 9:30am on 6th July . Please let us know if you wish to attend.

Explore the wonders of the Islamic world in the Britsih Museum’s newest gallery.

Showcasing the Museum’s diverse and world-class collection of Islamic objects, this beautiful new gallery explores the cultural significance, breadth and impact of the Islamic world. On display are stunning works of art alongside objects of everyday life, including musical instruments, games, ceramics and traditional dress.

These objects represent an area stretching from West Africa to Southeast Asia, from the 7th century to the present day. Together they celebrate the peoples of the Islamic world and explore the ideas, technologies and interactions that shaped their culture.
