This seminal exhibition, held in Munich in 1910, marks a crucial moment in western appreciation of Islamic art. The show used modernist exhibition techniques, in stark contrast former displays that bowed to western fantasies of 'the Orient' and 'the Sultan's harem' . In so doing, it served to transform Islamic objects from the realm of 'Orientalism' into works of art in their own right. Text in German.‎
