Mughal February 27, 2009

ARTafterDARK is the Honolulu Academy of Arts' monthly art party organized by a dynamic group of young volunteers dedicated to exploring the arts.

ARTafterDARK 2009 kicks-off with Mughal, a night highlighting Muraqqa' at the Honolulu Academy of Arts, an exhibition of exquisite Indian miniature paintings from one of the world’s finest collections. On view are paintings, calligraphies and manuscripts created for the Indian emperors Jahangir and Shah Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal, in the 17th century. The works are a window to the culture of this pivotal period of Indian history.
