Sharjah Calligraphy Museum in Sharjah

I came for the Sharjah Calligraphy Biennial and it was a wonderful exhibition. The venue is very nicely maintained and the layout is interesting with the different buildings throughout. Id recommend checking it out for sure!

مركز رائع ولديه فعاليات فنيه رائعه

Great display of artwork

Nice museum socializes as the name says in Arabic calligraphy, you can join different courses in many related disciplines…. for non-Arabs & Arabs alike.

Музей не большой. Очень впечатлили орнаменты и каллиграфия. Уверенна,будет интересно всем!

Its quite small - basically just one room with calligraphy examples on the wall, but interesting. Worth visiting if youre in the area and as a part of museum crawl in Sharjah.

A well historical preserve area

المكان وايد ممتع، احنا سوينا الورشة عن زخرف الإسلامي اليوم، إستافدنا وايد

Didn’t live up to the expectations as there were very limited calligraphy sample were displayed. One exhibition hall was closed. Place was clean and well maintained. Only interesting thing was display of calligraphy tools.

Open at 8am on Saturday. Small but beautiful collection of calligraphy. Staff very friendly and helpful!

un incontournable de sharjah ! vous verrez de très belles calligraphies arabes. La taille du musée est relativement petite, il y a apparemment des animations pour les enfants certains jours.

This place used to have different vibe but now it’s totally changed

Des œuvres magnifiques, originales et exposées dans un grand espace. Le texte calligraphié est réécrit et traduit sur les cartels, ce qui nous permet dapprécier la profondeur des versets / poèmes.

A few nice pieces of arabic calligraphy from Turkey, Syria, Iran and Iraq. Be sure to go in and see the unique displays with ink on leather, Rose as the centre hilal and a huge piece of calligraphic mastery. Entrance is not obvious so park and walk in from the North nearer to al hisn Fort.

Great museum

Excellent

I wasnt impressed because Im not a fan of calligraphy. However, if you have an interest in calligraphy and Arabic, you should definitely visit this place.

Tiny but interesting

Tiny but tastefully arranged, beautiful examples of Arabic calligraphy in different scripts. As usual in Sharjah museums, nice and welcoming staff.

Wonderful place to visit to know the culture and history.

My favorite museum in Sharjah. It is nice to visit with kids, family, or friends. Actually there are a lot of things that we can find here, more than just the calligraphy. So there are some different rooms around this area. There is a room just for the calligraphy, another room for painting, another room for clasical vinyl disc, another room for VR and sound attraction, another room for statue, another room for international art. And im so surprised that i can find my country culture in here. Yes there are some things that show about Indonesia in here, it makes me so happy. The place is clean, and all staff are so kind. I really really love this museum

Was here for the biennial - some of the better art are in this space! Hope to check out the calligraphic displays another time

Old age structures... Remembering the past

Beautiful place in where you can learn and appreciate calligraphy as an expression and art. The galleries sum up a nice and outstanding work for local and visitor artist. Dont hesitate to ask for a tour, the guides are really well prepared.

There is something missing!!

The art within this museum is worth seeing.A must see site

Great concept but needs attention to realize its potential. Currently feels like a neglected project.

An excellent institute!

This place is worth to visit. (museum ).

While the museum is small in general as area but it offers a lot of information about Arabic Calligraphy. Journey with this pure Islamic art from the past till now, also the museum offers free workshops and host some activity of the Sharjah Islamic Art festival, entrance fee is very cheap and free for kids as most of the cultural places in Sharjah, all family members will enjoy the visit and also the walk around the area.

Good calligraphy and Arabic culture.
