The Islamic cultural center held its first exhibit Wednesday evening, where an orchestra played traditional Middle Eastern instruments as people crowded into the center.

As Reported By The NY DailyNews:

NYChildren, as the exhibit was titled, was as much a tribute to New York City's diversity as a display of mere photographs. It includes snapshots of a city children representative of 160 ethnicities from around the world.

The photographs were compiled by a 44-year-old Jewish shutterbug from Brooklyn, Danny Goldfield.

Meanwhile, the developer behind the cultural center conceded he was partly to blame for the virulent opposition the project has encountered.
