Students of Moonsez Art Academy will showcase their talents at a group painting exhibition to be held in the capital's Alliance Francaise de Dhaka from Tuesday (9 October).

Titled 'Daak-ticketey Dekhi Amar Desh' (My Country Through Stamps)', the 10-day art-show will feature a number of paintings inspired by the stumps of Bangladesh.
