Grandeur and finery: The travelling show from the Aga Khan Museum presents functional items and devotional paeansBy OOI KOK CHUEN

MUCH of the appeal of the 100 artefacts in the Treasures Of The Aga Khan Museum exhibition lies in their innate beauty and rarity, and the wonder they evoke while throbbing with the pulses of Muslim civilisation.

The objects of grandeur and finery are representations of Islamic architecture, with its myriad nuances in philosophy, spirituality, intellect, way of life, literature, arts and culture, from the ninth century to the 18th century.
