“for fully supporting the initiative and we thank the Chief Minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah Sahib for the kind approval of the Museum building through Culture Department Government of Sindh on 4/10/2019. The building is under construction on the plot gifted by the Pir of Luari Sharif and will be completed soon for the formal onsite opening of the Museum”
Message from the Chairman
We are exhibiting for the very first time important works from the Pir Luari Sufi Art Collection, accumulated over the past many centuries. The collection holds an array of the rarest artworks, artefacts, manuscripts and objects relating to the realm of early Islamic history and Sufism. Visitors and viewers will have the opportunity to interact with skilfully engraved objet d’art and intricate works of art arranged around the Holy Quranic texts and Rumi’s Masnavi.
These are the designs that once inspired Mr. Cartier who copied the motifs on cigarette cases and women’s clutch bags in early 1900’s (Cartier and Islamic Art p. 64, 68, 69).
This is our contribution to the world of art. May you immerse your mind and soul in these timeless and priceless works in pursuit of the spirit of Sufism.
His Holiness Pir Muhammad Sadiq Qureshi
Pir of Luari Sharif the 9th
Chairman Pir Luari Sufi Art Collections Museum
