  • Who are these two larger-than-life portraits welcoming you into the exhibit? Their elegant fashion is a fantastic introduction to the important role one textile in particular played in the Safavid empire: silk.

    Thank you to our partners, Qatar Museums, and M7. The Fashioning an Empire exhibition runs 23 October, 2023 - 20 April, 2024 at the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha. 

    This series is produced by Al Shaibani and edited by Hebah Fisher, with sound design by Mohamad Khreizat.
