Lonely Planet review for Islamic Art Museum
The Benaki Museum’s celebrated collection of Islamic art is one of the finest in the world. This stately neoclassical complex of buildings exhibits more than 8000 items covering the 12th to 19th centuries, including weavings, carvings, prayer carpets, tiles, ceramics and a 17th-century reception room from a Cairo mansion.
