ICMA members are invited to attend an exhibition tour of Wonders of Creation: Art, Science, and Innovation in the Islamic World at the McMullen Museum of Art at Boston College with exhibition curator Ladan Akbarnia (The San Diego Museum of Art).
Using wonder as a vehicle, Wonders of Creation illuminates the global impact of science and artistic production from the Islamic world and its diverse geographies and multifaceted visual cultures. Over 170 works, including illustrated manuscripts and paintings, maps, scientific instruments, magic bowls, luster dishes, architectural elements, and contemporary art, evoke wonder through a visual journey.
Drinks to follow at 5pm at an offsite location.
