The Louvre Museum’s new galleries for Islamic Art recently welcomed distinguished guests, The Honorable Neil Abercrombie, Governor of the State of Hawaii, and his wife, Dr. Nancie Caraway; and Dr. Michael V. Drake, Chancellor of the University of California, Irvine, and his wife, Brenda Drake. Both visits were led by Yannick Lintz, director of the Department of Islamic Art. The Louvre’s collection includes many treasures of Persian art, whose study, publication, exhibition and related educational activities are made possible through the support of the Elahé Omidyar Mir-Djalali Fund.
