\"\"<\/a>“In Praise of God:
\nAnatolian Rugs In Transylvanian Churches, 1500-1750”<\/strong>
\nIn Sak\u0131p Sabanc\u0131 Museum<\/p>\n

Sabanc\u0131 University Sak\u0131p Sabanc\u0131 Museum (SSM) will be hosting the exhibition In Praise of God – Anatolian Rugs in Transylvanian Churches<\/strong> between April 19 – August 19, 2007. 41 rugs Western Anatolian rugs from 16th -18th centuries, mostly selected from churches and museums in Romania, Hungary and Germany will be on display in this exhibition sponsored by Y\u00fcnsa.<\/p>\n

The exhibition, which brings together a selection of rugs for the first time at SSM since the exhibiton in Budapest in 1914, is a collaboration between the Romanian Institute of Culture, the National Brukenthal Museum in Sibiu, the Evangelical Church A.C. of Romania, Romanian Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs, the Bucharest Museum of Art Collections, the Hungarian National Museum and the Museum of Applied Arts in Budapest, the Berlin Museum of Islamic Art and SSM.<\/p>\n

With this exhibition, several types of “Transylvanian” rugs, of which few survive in Turkey,\u00a0 are temporarily returning to the land where they were originally woven. The use of rugs made for Muslim prayer to decorate the walls of Christian churches, and the preservation of large numbers of these rugs in Transylvania, create an interesting example of fusion and also an indication of the universality of art, which recognizes no borders, languages or religions.<\/p>\n
