See all 45 reviewsInteresting little museum which punches above its weight. You can see not only older calligraphy amongst the new breed, but experience the wisdom of Holy Book of the Muslims. A nice children's section to practice arabic writing.
It is the only museum in the Arab World dedicated to calligraphy. There are some samples using which you can as well learn how to do calligraphy. They conduct some small activities for kids as well. The staff is very friendly.
This museum can be interesting if you’re into this topic. For someone unfamiliar with the language it does not really provide any accessibility so please be prepared. Even so I enjoyed my short visit.
A beautiful place where we can see the work of many artists.
