Love For the Prophet

Last week, I went with few friends of mine to visit the "Love for the prophet" exhibition. 

"An Islamic art exhibition celebrating the Prophet Muhammad’s 1446th birthday with the works of prominent Turkish calligraphers. As a part of the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) celebrations, the Hilye-i Şerîf exhibition “Love of the Prophet” at the Yunus Emre Enstitüsü." 

"Hilye-i Şerîf is an Islamic art form consists texts that describes the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) physical as well as moral beauty in the best manner possible into superb works of art as calligraphy and illumination." 

It was really interesting seeing the intricate details of calligraphy and the cutout Islamic geometry! If you haven't been able to go, here are a few photos!
