The research, planning and collection of material and artifacts has begun with help and support from friends, patrons and likeminded associates. From archeological content to contemporary art to objects of daily life, the Islamic Gallery shall bring together stories of interconnected worlds across time and geography. The Gallery shall offer creative ways for visitors to engage with the historical events, Islamic culture, religious traditions, rites and rituals, using latest advances in technology and audio-visual media. Effects shall be created through listening to stories, sounds and digital films, and accentuating light-sensitive works such as paintings, calligraphies and artifacts on display.
Community members are encouraged to donate Islamic oriented Artwork to augment the capacity and objectives of Islamic Gallery.
