1250-1517

The Louvre lifts the veil on the Mamluk Sultanate (1250-1517), an empire as fascinating as it is unknown. Rising from a military elite originating from slavery, this civilization left a lasting impression on both the battlefields and in arts and culture.

For two centuries, the Mamluks wielded a fearsome power, extending their territory from Egypt to Hejaz, through Syria and part of Anatolia. They also shaped a world where sultans, scholars, women and religious minorities formed a vibrant and sophisticated society.

260 works - embroidered textiles, illuminated manuscripts, works of art, sculpted woodwork, stone decorations - one third of which come from the collections of the Louvre and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, are displayed in five sections.

An alternative golden age of the Arab world is unveiled through an immersive narrative and portraits of iconic figures.
