"This exhibit has so many facets and gleams from so many angles that it will bring things Turkish to life for all sorts of people who have just ignored them. Whatever preconception you may go with is likely -- if you take a close enough look -- to get a healthy shock.

"Take a magnifier, if you have one, for you must sometimes look very closely, but there is work of all scales, too, to give a sense of the spaciousness of Islam. The whole show is lit and spaced by the fresh and glancing humor of Mr. Eric Schroeder's explanatory cards."
