Containing over 40,000 pieces of art from the Seljuk and Ottoman empires as well as other Muslim civilisations, the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts is a rich and inspiring place to visit. The best of their collection -- from stone, wood, and ceramic pieces to handmade carpets and calligraphy-filled manuscripts -- is vividly presented in this lustrous guide. This is a must for all libraries and those specialising in the study of Islamic or Turkish-Islamic art.
