Crosscurrents: Masterpieces of Mughal, Safavid, and Ottoman Art
DESCRIPTION
For the first time in Southeast Asia, the Asian Civilisations Museum presents nearly 100 masterpieces from the Musée du Louvre’s renowned collection. Spanning the 16th to 18th centuries, exquisite jades, luminous ceramics, and intricate metalwork showcase the luxury and innovation of the Mughal, Safavid, and Ottoman empires.
These objects embody a vibrant, cosmopolitan world where artistic ideas and influences flowed freely between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Shaped by global trade routes and shared histories, works from the ACM collection highlight crosscurrents of exchange that connected these empires to Southeast Asia, and their profound impact on the region’s artistic heritage.
