It may be rather early notice, but I just saw that in October the Morgan Library will be hosting another exhibit that sounds very interesting:
Treasures of Islamic Manuscript Painting from the Morgan
October 21, 2011 through January 29, 2012
October 21, 2011 through January 29, 2012
An excerpt from the exhibit's description:
Shown for the first time anywhere will be a series of twenty-nine miniatures from the 1590s illustrating the life of Rumi, the celebrated Persian poet and mystic.
