A Display at The Famous Islamic Art Museum

This is a piece of "calligraphy" found in the famous new Islamic Art Museum in Qatar. Many exhibits like the one shown, are of famous documents that have been brought about throughout the tremendous history of the Middle East. Much calligraphy in the Middle East is due to the development of paper, and the style of writing is so precise and very difficult to exemplify. The writing shown is only a portion of what is in the Islamic Art Museum, as well as many other important artifacts of Middle Eastern history.

    Dear Harrison,


    Thank you for your interese in the Museum of Islamic Art. Please note that the image you have displayed above is not an object or a piece of calligraphy as you have stated, rather it is the official script written by HH the Emir of Qatar to the Museum on the day of the official opening of the Museum Nov 11 this year. Therefore please remove it as it is not an object.

    Thank you,

    Diana Rizk
