Museum of Islamic Art, Art and archaeological museum in Museum Island, Berlin, Germany.

The Museum of Islamic Art presents artifacts from regions between Spain and India, including architectural decorations, ceramics, textiles, and manuscripts within the Pergamon Museum.

The museum opened its doors in 1904 following the donation of the Mshatta facade by Ottoman Sultan Abdülhamid II to German Emperor Wilhelm II.

The collection features prayer niches from Turkey and Iran, intricately designed carpets, and painted wooden elements from the Aleppo room.

Located in the south wing of the Pergamon Museum, the institution offers educational programs, guided tours, workshops, and digital resources for visitors.

The museum houses the stone facade of Mshatta and excavated stucco wall elements from palaces in Samarra, dating from the 8th to 19th centuries.
