Just as renovation projects for museums that require a temporary closing provide a period of relief and repair for the collections they also create an opportunity to present the works to the art lovers of other lands.

The most opulent works of art of the Ottoman Empire the Persian-centered Safavid Empire and the Mughal Empire founded in India by the grandsons of Timurlane which have never before been released from the Musée Louvre await visitors to the exhibition at Sabancı University Sakıp Sabancı Museum for a period of four months.
