The Timeline of Islamic Civilisations

The Timeline of Islamic Civilisations (featuring the collection of the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia), provides a brief overview of Islamic civilisations from the time of the Orthodox Caliphate, up to the 20th century AD. It also encompasses the geographical expanse of the Islamic World, which extends from the Iberian Peninsula to Southeast Asia. As a quick and helpful reference for both newcomers to Islamic art and history, as well as established enthusiasts, the timeline is illustrated with works of art in various media, including manuscripts, ceramics, jewellery, woodwork and metalwork all from the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia collection.
