![Shahzia Sikander on Indian and Persian Illuminated Manuscripts | Collection in Focus
Here I am in this time and space, able to see {these paintings] with such intimacy and that is so, so exciting to me as a painter.
For our centennial, we asked some of our friends and collaborators to speak about what they love about the Morgan Library & Museum in New York City. Watch artist Shahzia Sikander discusses the centuries-old practice of illuminated manuscripts in India and Persia and what we can learn from the past.
