The power of art
to promote understanding between different cultures and religions
has been demonstrated down the ages. In this extraordinary
exhibition we have perhaps the finest example in this country’s
history of that power on display. At a critical time in world
history, The Arts of Islam: Masterpieces from the Khalili Collection,
reminds us of the civilisation, wisdom and beauty common to
all humanity. Westfield is proud to be associated with this
historic exhibition.
