After outcry, museum calls off sale of Islamic art

As part of the arrangement, the Al Thani Collection, an art foundation funded by the Qatari ruling family, ‘will generously provide an annual sponsorship to the L.A. Mayer Museum for Islamic Art’ for 10 years, while one of the Islamic Art Museum’s pieces will be given on long-term loan to the Al Thani Collection’s gallery at the Hotel de la Marine in Paris
