Marilyn Jenkins-Madina
About The Author
Dr. Marilyn Jenkins-Madina is Curator Emerita of the Department of Islamic Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. During the forty years she served as a curator in that department, she not only played a key role in helping to create the museum’s first major (ten-gallery) installation of Islamic art but she organized numerous special exhibitions as well and sought out important gap-filling objects for the department to add to its large and comprehensive collection. She has also lectured widely and written or co-authored seven books and published more than thirty articles. During her long career, Dr. Jenkins-Madina was invited to advise and consult on installations of Islamic art in a number of Muslim countries, including serving as Project Director for the creation of Kuwait’s Dar al-Athar al-Islamiyyah (Museum of Islamic Art), which opened to great acclaim in 1983. She lives in New York City.
