Watch video of the most recent presentation in the Food for Thought lunchtime series which took place on October 13. During our first Food for Thought program the panel presented a brief overview of the exhibition’s highlights. The program focused on dispelling misunderstandings about Islam by introducing the audience to the early history of Islam (Abrahamic faiths, the life of the prophet, cultural impact), illuminated Qur’ans as the first significant art objects associated with Islam (highlighting some particularly fine examples in the exhibition), they also looked at the spread of Islam outside the Arabian peninsula

Food for Thought is a community lunchtime program.
