Positioned at the crossroads of trade routes linking Europe, Africa, and Asia, the Mamluks developed a refined art deeply shaped by intense cultural exchange. Featuring nearly 150 works—illuminated manuscripts, architectural decorations, precious objects, and weapons—Mamluks: Legacy of an Empire unveils a pluralistic society with diverse forms of craftsmanship. The catalogue offers a historical and cultural introduction to this powerful dynasty and highlights the artistic excellence of the Mamluk era, while tracing the circulation of knowledge, influences, and goods from China to Ghana, and from Venice to Cairo.
