Opened in 2008, the museum carefully preserves more than 5,000 artifacts, each telling a whisper of the rich history and traditions of the Islamic world. Browse galleries featuring rich calligraphy, intricate carvings and exotic ceramics. A dedicated section can also see a replica of the kiswa, the curtain covering the Kaaba in Mecca, which offers a special connection to the heart of Islam.
Beyond the artifacts, the museum itself tells the story. Designed to echo traditional Islamic architecture, it captures the true essence of festival culture. The central dome, decorated with intricate mosaics, reflects the importance of astrology in Islamic civilization.
The Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization is more than just a collection; It’s about developing understanding and appreciation. It is a place where families can enjoy shared historical adventures, to stimulate curiosity and stimulate conversation about the rich fabric of Islamic culture.
