New exhibition: Hajj - The Journey Through Art
An exciting new exhibition, Hajj - The Journey Through Art, launches at the Museum of Islamic Arts on 9 October 2013.
This Museum of Islamic Art (MIA)-curated exhibition, in collaboration with the British Museum, takes visitors on a journey exploring and illuminating the Muslim pilgrimage of Hajj.
It presents artworks from MIA and objects from Qatari collections, many of which have never before been displayed in public.
An outdoor photography display featuring unique visions of Hajj by five international photographers will run in conjunction with the exhibition.
For more than 1400 years, pilgrims have travelled to the city of Mecca for Hajj, and today about 3 million Muslims take part every year from all over the world.
