The MIAH Foundation's 'Taught by the Pen: the Qur'an and Calligraphy' Exhibition

Culture Forward partner, The Museum of Islamic Arts & Heritage (MIAH) Foundation, is pleased to announce its first in-house curated exhibition at the MIAH Islamic Arts & Heritage Gallery in Balsall Heath, Birmingham.

Taught by the Pen: the Qur'an and Calligraphy explores the role of the art of calligraphy in the preservation of the Qur'an in its written form through the centuries. The exhibition is being launched during the month of Ramadan, during which the first verses were revealed. Culture Forward is supporting the arts programme around the exhibition.

The exhibition will be open to the public on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 12pm-6pm, starting from Friday 15th March 2024. It will run until 25th May 2024.
