Channel 1 Russia again on a visit at the Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy

On January 18, 2011 the Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy opened its doors to Mikhail Shirvindt’s crew of "I want to know everything" program. This time, the story’s curator was Aleksandr Oleshko, a famous actor and TV presenter. The editors have devoted the material to the art of beautiful handwriting. Aleksandr looked at some unique items, and of course most attention was attracted to the works by Nja Mahdaoui, the patriarch of the world calligraphy from Tunisia and Yekaterina Zarkh, participant in the International Exhibition of Calligraphy. Then, Yuri Koverdyayev, lecturer of the National School of Calligraphy taught Aleksandr Oleshko some tricks of calligraphy. The story will be broadcasted on Channel 1 Russia in February.
