TEHRAN -- Tehran’s Malek Museum and Library plans to hold storytelling workshops, during which tales from Masnavi-ye Manavi, the magnum opus of the Persian mystic and poet Molana Jalal ad-Din Rumi (1207-1273), will be narrated for schoolchildren.
Entitled “The Story Garden”, the workshop program will begin on January 12 and will be held each Monday until March 16.
“The Parrots and the Merchant” is one of the stories will narrated by storytellers during the workshops, which are free.
In another part of the program, the storytellers will recount the stories during a tour of elementary schools in Tehran.
Games will also be arranged for children on the sidelines of the program.
Located at the Mashq Square downtown Tehran, the Malek Museum and Library was inaugurated in 1927.
A large collection of extremely rare manuscript books are kept at the storerooms of the Malek Museum and Library, which is affiliated to the Astan-e Qods Museum in Mashhad.
