Art works, manuscripts, and rare books
The Qur’an has been present in Europe since the 8th century. But what role has it played in shaping European identity? This exhibition of art works, manuscripts, and rare books explores the complexity of this relationship, presenting a thematic and chronological journey through the many European perspectives on Islam’s sacred text.
