Exhibit Showcases Islamic Diversity

America to Zanzibar is a new exhibit at the Children’s Museum of Manhattan designed to highlight the vast diversity of Islamic cultures. Today more than ever, it is of immense importance that we begin to appreciate the complexity and great differences that exist within Muslim societies. Media coverage of Islam is almost always focused on narratives of tragedy and this has prevented many people from having informed exposure to the real diversity among Muslims. America to Zanzibar shines a light on the rich intellectual and cultural history that stands behind this world civilization.
