With the new presentation of its permanent collection of textiles and carpets, the MAK offers a glimpse of precious objects ranging from late antiquity to the present day—from European to East Asian masterpieces. The MAK’s collection is one of the world’s most valuable and extensive museum collections of its kind. With its focus on unique Mamluk and Safavid carpets from the 16th and 17th centuries, it is one of the most magnificent sections of this collection.
