Islamic Art in Islamic Lands
Museums and Architectural Revivalism
In the Islamic lands, the conceptualization of material culture as art and its subsequent association with a fixed entity called Islam reveals a complex adoption of nineteenth‐century European practices, including disinterested aesthetics, historicism, regionalism, nationalism, secularism, and conservationism. Although the establishment of Islamic arts museums in Islamic lands correlates with European hegemony, the inclusion of works associated with religious practice relates less to art historical secularization than to modern administrative centralization. Beginning in the 1890s, the documentation of Mamluk architecture undertaken in the publications of the 1870s was transformed into a new visual vocabulary for the built environment, a revivalist style known as neo‐Mamluk. Like neo‐Mamluk revivalism in Egypt, Ottoman and Turkish nationalization of architectural style built on the documentation and classification of Ottoman architecture established in l'Architecture ottomane prepared for the 1873 Vienna Exposition.
