Building the Moroccan Court
In 2011, The Metropolitan Museum of Art opened the New Galleries for the Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and Later South Asia, which house the Museum’s renowned collection of Islamic art. A vital part of the installation was the Patti Cadby Birch Court, a Moroccan court built by a team of experts—from curators and historians to designers and craftsmen—over many months. Complementing the works on view, which span the past fourteen hundred years, the Moroccan Court provides an experience of space and architecture while demonstrating artistic traditions that still thrive in the Islamic world.
This video documents a marvelous journey from Fez to New York, and the creation of a twenty-first-century court using traditional fifteenth-century methods.
The court was made possible by the Patti and Everett B. Birch Foundation.

As an artist I’ve always been inspired by arabesque style art. It’s one of
the beautiful things I’d love about going to the mosque as a kid.

This is an example of ANDALUSIAN culture, not moroccan. One can find it in
Tunesia, Morocco and Spain

not that easy to make mosaic, it needs patience.
