July 04, 2022

By Neelam Rahim

The Exhibition of the Prophet’s Holy Mosque Architecture is considered a historical legacy, as it contains valuable possessions and rare artefacts that enrich the visitor experience.

It is south of the Prophet’s Mosque, over a vicinity of 2,200 square meters, and reviews the history of the building’s architecture since its first construction by Prophet Muhammad and his companions until the expansions of the primary, second, and third Saudi states.

These expansions span quite 1,400 years and are witness to the wonder and elaboration of Islamic architecture, its designs, and ornamentations.

In collaboration with the Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah Research and Studies Center, the General Presidency for the Affairs of Two Holy Mosques is highlighting the architectural dimensions of the Prophet’s Mosque, shedding light on its speciality, status, and architecture, elevating the amount of cultural awareness in Islamic civilization, and enriching the visitor experience at an inventive and artistic level through a close and comprehensive presentation.

The presidency has also worked on introducing visitors to the features of the Prophet’s Mosque, like the pulpit, mihrab, domes, canopies, doors, adhan, muezzins, minarets, squares, and also the services offered to people.

The exhibition presents content in several languages through wall panels and interactive screens. All exhibition output is in Arabic and English, while the content has been translated into 12 languages.

There is also audio translation, enabling visitors to access the exhibition’s content through dedicated devices. Visiting time is split into two daily periods from 7 a.m. until midday and from 4 p.m. until 10 p.m.

The exhibition features modern technology, interactive screens talking about architecture, information associated with the Prophet’s Mosque, films, and cinema halls.

It also has special halls for valuable objects, including rare and precious items belonging to the 2 Holy Mosques and ancient artefacts preserved through the ages.

The experience time within the exhibition is around 40 minutes, with 30 visitors per tour.
