Walk Through History In Louvre Abu Dhabi’s “Stories Of Paper” Exhibition
Papers and books hold a lot of information. It’s how we know about our ancestors back in the day. It’s how we know about ancient civilisations. From the first century to the present and from ancient Asia to Europe and contemporary Arabia, Stories of Paper examines the rich artistic legacy of this fragile material that not only became indispensable for record-keeping and trade but has proved essential to cultural interaction and intellectual exchange for two millennia.
