The exhibit called “America to Zanzibar: Muslim Cultures Near and Far” opens Feb. 13 at the Upper West Side museum.
The 3,500-square-foot exhibit is the fourth in a series on global cultures, following exhibits about ancient Greece, China and Japan.
The exhibit is designed for children aged 2 to 10 and their families. It will include interactive features like a global marketplace where children can pretend to buy spices from Egypt, ceramics from Turkey and rugs from Morocco.
They can also weigh their catch at the Zanzibari fish market, smell Indonesian fruits, serve Tajik tea and design outfits inspired by the West African tailors on 116th Street.
How controversial.
Show the children the hand and foot choppings and the stoning of women and the complete covering of women in public for a start.
Since it’s a hands on exhibit. I think they should have little suicide vests to try on. See and feel the real Islam!
