On the tour, guests will have the unique opportunity to admire lavishly illuminated manuscripts, fine textiles, astrolabes, and contemporary art commissions, all illuminating the global impact of science and artistic production from the Islamic world.

Copley Auditorium for the annual Mehregan concert at 5:00 p.m. Sponsorship packages start at $200 plus fees. For more information about sponsorship, email Nese Bryant-Mitchell or call 619.696.1938.
