​The newest wing of the Louvre holds 3000 examples of fine Islamic art and artifacts dating from the 7th to 19th century. The architecture of the specially design wing deserves a mention as the ceiling of glass is engineered emulate flowing silk veil. The gallery is spacious and airy and the works are displayed on tall glass plinths so the viewer can look closely at these beautiful objects from all angles.
