\u00a0<\/p>\n

Centuries-old handwritten Qurans from Turkey will be presented this week at the first major Quran exhibition in Washington at the Smithsonian Institution.<\/p>\n

The Qurans were brought from the more than 100-year-old Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts in Istanbul.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The exhibition will also include 18 Qurans from the permanent collections of the Freer Gallery of Art and the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery-both part of the Smithsonian.<\/p>\n

The manuscripts are among the most important ever produced from geography spanning Turkey to Afghanistan and covers almost 1,000 years of the history of Islamic art between the 8th and 17th centuries.<\/p>\n
