Great concept but needs attention to realize it's potential. Currently feels like a neglected project.

Sharjah Calligraphy Museum is one part of (joint ticket) history trip in Sharjah. Calligraphy work are comparatively new. But an interesting extra was open doors to an Emirati artist Najat Makki's exhibition. In pics some of her works, too.

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. Don't hesitate to ask for a tour, the guides are really well prepared.

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. I'd recommend checking it out for sure!

#sharjah art museum is wonderful . u must visit there

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.

It regularly hosts exhibitions, in an attempt to draw local and international attention to the beauty and charm of Arabic calligraphy, and raise public awareness about the importance of preserving our cultural heritage.

Great Calligraphy (Arabic) Museum and Surrounding Awesome in Heritage Area The Museum itself is small but contains a lot of information about Arabic Calligraphy. The tools and the method used for Calligraphy were also on display. There are also free workshops every week on Arabic Calligraphy so if it interests you you could check with the Museum Authorities and plan your trip accordingly. There is also a book on the Arabic Calligraphy which is on display and the title is currently available for Free. Overall a good place to visit for Calligraphy lover and the surrounding is a heritage area and the place and sight is awesome and a must visit if you are in Sharjah. It is very close to the Shopping area / Rolla Park.

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

This place is worth to visit. (museum ).

The museum is divided into three parts. The first one is about the calligraphy styles and its metrics such as “Al Thuluth”, “Al Kufi”, “Al Ruq’a”, Al “Maghribi”, and others … In the second section, a little smaller, we can find some items such as books and beautiful drawings calligraphies and a chronological panel that tells the periods, origins and regions that each style flourished. At the entrance of the last section, we find several specific instruments to compose the Arabic calligraphy, very well detailed about their use and functions. Also in this section, paintings with the genuine Arab calligraphy art are exposed on the walls.

Good calligraphy and Arabic culture.

Wonderful place to visit to know the culture and history.

Interesting for calligraphers. Lots of pieces of exhibition from Turkish Calligraphers. Atmosphere is nice

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.

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

Beautiful collection of Islamic calligraphy, primarily verses from Al Quran and Ahadeeth, from calligraphers around the world.

Simply amazing! A must see for anyone creative.

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

Beautiful place

Great museum

Excellent

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

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

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.

I love this place..hostorical place

Old age structures... Remembering the past

An excellent institute!
