Her Majesty spent two hours perusing the establishment, including surveying the “Inspired by the East: How the Islamic World Influenced Western Art” exhibition co-organised with the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia.
The exhibition, which runs until Jan 26, features ceramics, photographs, jewellery, clothing and paintings from Europe, North America, the Middle East and North Africa.
