The khalili collections
Since 1970 Professor Khalili has assembled, under the auspices of the Khalili Family Trust, eight of the world’s finest and most comprehensive art collections: The Arts of the Islamic World (700-2000), Hajj and the arts of pilgrimage (700-2000), Aramaic and Bactrian documents (400 BC - AD 700), Japanese Art of the Meiji Period (1868-1912), Japanese Kimonos (1700-2000), Swedish Textiles (1700-1900), Spanish Damascened Metalwork (1850-1900) and Enamels of the World (1700-2000). Together, the eight collections comprise some 25,000 works. Each of the eight collections is on its own merit the largest and most comprehensive in the world. The Khalili Collections will be fully represented in a series of 88 volumes, including exhibitions catalogues of which 69 have already been published.
