It has been almost a year since the moment, when the idea of creating and implementing a global project “International Exhibition of Calligraphy” was first announced.
Much of the planned has already been implemented. The exhibition in St. Petersburg gathered a record number of visitors for four days of work - more than 17.000 people came to see the works of the best schools of calligraphy. On the eve of the event a trial opening of the exhibition of the Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy was held. However, the team headed by project manager Alexey Shaburov did not stop there.

Work on the design of the museum space to the official, grand opening of the Museum is close to completion. Everything is lined up so that every visitor barely crossing the threshold, immediately will plunge into consonance images, music, words, feelings creative message. Natural elements - fire, water and light - will merge with the natural human thought of the creativity of calligraphers.

We should also mention the exhibition stand, which can rightly be regarded as an exclusive one. This year we celebrate the 15-year anniversary of the adoption of the RF Basic Law. For this anniversary at the Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy will be issued the only copy of a handwritten Constitution of the Russian Federation, which has been under preparation for many months. A collection of miniature editions of constitutions around the world, including rarity edition of the first Soviet Constitution of 1921 is of particular interest. For the first time, visitors will see inaugural speeches of Roosevelt and Kennedy, speech and the oath of inauguration of Boris Yeltsin and Vladimir Putin.
