The Yousef Jameel Online Centre for the Study of Islamic and Eastern Art will be an innovative, global resource to enable students and scholars at every level, as well as the general public, to access and interact with the Ashmolean Museum's Islamic and Eastern Art collections online. The project has been made possible thanks to the generosity and vision of Yousef Jameel, Hon. LHD.
This website provides background information on the project and its development, some examples of the wide variety of stunning photography being produced under the digitisation programme and contact information for the project team.
Launch date
The Yousef Jameel Online Centre for the Study of Islamic and Eastern Art will be launched in 2009, ahead of the opening of the new Ashmolean Museum in November of the same year.
