The Keir Collection of Islamic Art Gallery

Assembled over the course of five decades by the noted art collector Edmund de Unger (1918–2011), the Keir Collection is recognized by scholars as one of the world’s most geographically and historically comprehensive. Consisting of nearly 2,000 works, it spans from the Western Mediterranean to South Asia and across more than 13 centuries. It includes luxurious carpets and textiles; notable metalwork; rare works in rock crystal; lavish Qur’ans and illustrated manuscripts; and exceptional ceramics.
