Khamseen’s “Hands-On” initiative takes scholars, students, and general audiences into museums, libraries, and other repositories around the world. As they work in reading rooms, storage facilities, and conservation labs, international experts handle and present various original Islamic artworks and visual materials, thus offering virtual access to objects that often are not on display or accessible. Moreover, “Hands-On” presentations function like short masterclasses by enabling viewers to gain insights and expertise in Islamic art history and by crossing geographic, physical, and institutional barriers.
