The Foundation is delighted to lend several items from our Islamic collection for a new Islamic Faith gallery at the Islamic Museum of Australia.
IMA is a not-for profit foundation founded in May 2010 with the purpose of establishing the first Islamic Museum in Australia. It is the first centre of its kind in Australia and showcases a diverse range of Islamic arts including architecture, calligraphy, paintings, glass, ceramics and textiles.
The items on extended loan to IMA from CCCRH include 5 Islamic coins (the oldest is displayed as featured image for this post) and 5 Quranic manuscripts.
Collaboration with other museums is a key priority for the Foundation.
Our wider collection of Islamic coins and manuscripts can be viewed in a dedicated online gallery.
Items from this collection are also available as a traveling exhibition for schools, churches and mosques.
