The Institut du monde arabe highlights the millennia-old art of Arabic calligraphy, from its spiritual origins to contemporary

creation. This exhibition invites you to discover the richness and diversity of this art, a true means of artistic and spiritual expression, since the 10th century. From the earliest pages of the Quran to contemporary street art, from architecture to everyday objects, calligraphy is present in all aspects of life.
