A unique window into 1,400 years of Islamic architectural heritage has opened in Makkah with the launch of the Two Holy Mosques Architecture Exhibition, offering visitors an immersive journey through the historical evolution of the Grand Mosque (Masjid al-Haram) and the Prophet’s Mosque (Masjid an-Nabawi).
Housed in a newly renovated 1,200 sq. meter facility in the Um Al-Joud neighborhood, the exhibition presents a rare collection of artifacts, architectural models, and design elements chronicling the development of Islam’s two holiest sites. From the early Islamic era to contemporary times, the exhibition celebrates the craftsmanship, artistry, and sacred vision that shaped these monumental religious landmarks.
The building itself is a reflection of the spiritual and aesthetic essence of the Grand Mosque, blending traditional Islamic motifs with modern architectural innovations. According to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), this design approach provides visitors with a deep cultural and visual connection to the sanctity of the sites.
