Join us for a fun and educational Miniature Painting Workshop created especially for kids!
Suitable for ages : 8+
Miniature painting is one of the most iconic and detailed forms of Islamic art. Traditionally used to adorn books, this artistic practice reflects the saying of the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.): “Allah (God) is Beautiful and loves beautiful things.” Inspired by this, Muslims have long decorated everyday objects—buildings, clothing, carpets, and manuscripts—with intricate designs.
Join us for a fun and educational Miniature Painting Workshop created especially for kids! In this hands-on session, children will explore the captivating world of Arabesque patterns while learning about the rich history behind them. Perfect for young creatives and curious minds, this workshop blends art and storytelling in a celebration of Islamic heritage.
In its ongoing commitment to combatting Islamophobia, the Islamic Museum of Australia champions an understanding and appreciation for Islamic art and culture. The Miniature Painting workshops are supported by the Victorian Government.
