Koranic Calligraphy on tour in Morocco

If you are in Tetouan or Fez in the next two weeks, look out for a wonderful display of Koranic calligraphy. The first stop of an exhibition titled "Quranic Arts: Authenticity and continued creativity-Iranian experiences" started its tour on Wednesday in the city of Tetouan in Morocco.

On the sidelines of the event, Iranian artists participating in the exhibition met with the head, professors and students of Moroccan National Institute of Fine Arts.

The exhibition includes works from different types of calligraphy, different techniques of writing Quran on wood, leather, metal and glass, as well as illumination.

Iran's National Museum of Quran and a Quran publisher named 'Quran Book City' as well as Iran's embassy in Rabat are sponsors of the exhibition.

The exhibition is to be held in Tetouan and Fez cities in Morocco during fasting month of Ramadan
