Tarek Rajab Calligraphy Re-Visit
Oh, the Tarak Rajab Calligraphy Museum is such a treasure! This time we went back just to have time to watch the entire film on calligraphy, the cutting of the quills and the mixing of the ink, how the paper is prepared and burnished, how ornamentation is developed . . . every time we visit this museum, we see something new, and we learn something new.
This time, I was looking for details. Oh WOW.
Here is a little of what I found:
Kuwait is blessed to have such a gem of a museum, and open to the public free of charge, in a beautiful building, with gracious spaces. You can find more information on their website for both museums (The Tarak Rajab Museum is just around the corner) at The Tarak Rajab Museum website.

Kinan, go by yourself. It is totally absorbing. You will feel such joy. The two museums are near to each other, and are SO worth seeing. You of all people – go!

Wow, this is amazing. I wish was there. The Metro in NY has an Islamic Arts section which has been closed being of renovations and will reopen in 2009. That will be worth a visit too. π
