The images of Quranic manuscripts from the National Museum of Iran are the result of the digitisation project of ancient Quranic manuscripts conducted under the collaboration agreement between the National Museum of Iran and the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities as part of the Irankoran project.
