IMA staff members, Kym Wilton and Sherene Hassan, were delighted to host teachers from a diverse range of schools at this years first IMA Teachers Night on Monday, 20 June. They gave a tour of the Museum, with a special focus on curriculum alignments. Many of the teachers had not visited the IMA previously, and were amazed with the possibilities a visit to the IMA would bring to their school. Those who had visited before were enthralled by the new developments in the galleries. Please contact us if you would like us to organise an excursion for your students, or professional development for your staff. A reminder that teachers with a VIT registration can visit the IMA anytime for free!

Internationally acclaimed multimedia artist, Narjis Mirza, presents Hayakal al Noor (Bodies of Light); a sensorial, immersive and transcendent installation. Opening on 24 March, this interactive installation takes inspiration from the medieval Islamic philosophy of illumination. Our Visiting Exhibitions Gallery will be transformed into a cocoon of animated calligraphy, projection, textiles, subtle fragrances and sounds, where you will be guided to ponder beyond the visible and the tangible.
