The event, inaugurated on September 20, is among the most significant Islamic activities in the Volga region. Delegations from Russia and Qatar, along with religious and cultural figures, attended the opening ceremony.
Using digital and audiovisual technologies, the exhibition allows visitors to engage directly with the Quranic text in an interactive format.
Displays highlight classical calligraphy, the history of handwritten Qurans, and educational material designed for audiences of different ages. Organizers said the aim is to combine authenticity with innovation and to present the Quran as both a religious scripture and a cultural and spiritual message.
The Saratov program follows the Moscow opening on September 12 at the city’s Cathedral Mosque, which launched the second edition of the project.
