    This summary provides an overview of the exhibit "The Art of the Qur'an: Treasures From the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts" at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery. The exhibit features over 60 handwritten copies of the Qur'an from the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts, ranging greatly in size from compact versions similar to smartphones to copies as large as carpets.

    Arthur M.

    Sackler Gallery: The Art of


    the Quran: Treasures From the
    Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts
    This first major United States display of handwritten copies of Islams holy text includes more than
    60 burnished and gilded books, some as compact as smartphones, others the size of carpets. Flying
    carpets, I should say: This is art of a beauty that takes us straight to heaven. And it reminds us how
    much we dont know but, given a chance like this, would love to learn about a religion and
    culture lived and treasured by a quarter of the population of the globe.
