The Louvre museum in Paris will display dozens of artefacts from Uzbekistan that its experts helped restore, including a fragment of an 8th century Quran and a 2,000-year-old Buddha statue, the Uzbek government said on Friday.
A total of 70 restored artefacts will be shown in the Louvre between Nov 23 and March 6, the state-run Culture and Arts Development Foundation said in a statement, according to Reuters.
The Quran fragment, it said, had been stored for centuries in the village of Katta Langar and is one of the oldest copies of the Muslim holy book in existence.
