http://www.discoverislamicart.org/ is open

http://www.discoverislamicart.org/ is open... very nice collections in display... From Tunisia the Raqqada (Qayrawan) collections of Qurans is particularly ineteresting... Among the displayed objects: ivory caskets from the Nacional Museo/Madrid and the Victoria and Albert Museum/London, Iznik ceramics from Sultanahmet/Istanbul, the wooden panels from Cairo Museum of Islamic art, glass works from Damascus National Museum... and even art works from Medelhavmuseet of Stockholm...
Nice idea!
