eLibrary: Early Ottoman Art
This exhibition follows the Ottomans from a frontier beylik to a rising imperial power, revealing how a distinct artistic language first took shape. Through rare objects and the architecture that framed them, it captures a world on the cusp of transformation, where modest beginnings gave way to the bold confidence of a new dynasty.
This is the latest version of an electronic library of resources supporting the exhibition. It offers free and immediate access to online resources for anyone wanting to explore further the context of the museum’s artifacts. As the museum develops, more resources, in more languages, will be added.
NOTE: Some of these links come from Academia.edu and Researchgate.net. These require a free one-time registration. To research further yourselves, you may consider registering with Jstore.org which gives limited but free monthly access to its collections
