Islamic Art History Online
Khamseen: Islamic Art History Online is a free and open-access online platform of digital resources dedicated to the study of Islamic art, architecture, and visual culture. We provide original multimedia content on various Topics, Terms, and Themes developed by scholars from across the field of Islamic art history, thus bringing a multiplicity of voices and perspectives into real and virtual classrooms. We also host large-scale digital Projects, which result from Khamseen‘s collaborations with local and international experts, universities, libraries, museums, archives, and foundations.
Besides aiding educators, curators, librarians, and other professionals to create dynamic and interactive learning environments through our roster of talks, pedagogical resources, and translations, Khamseen‘s mission is to help all individuals learn more about Islamic art in general. Over the last five years, our pages have been viewed from all over the world a half million times. Propelled by a shared vision, Team Khamseen is dedicated to expanding and enriching our content and, above all, to building bridges across cultures through the arts.
