Holy Quran Museum Displays 9th Century Levantine Quran Manuscript

A rare 9th-century Quran manuscript from the Levant has gone on display at the Holy Quran Museum in Makkah’s Hira Cultural District, offering visitors direct access to an early regional copy of the Holy Quran within the museum’s galleries.

The Holy Quran Museum preserves and exhibits rare copies of the Holy Quran while highlighting the value of Quranic endowments that helped safeguard manuscripts and support their dissemination through mosques and centres of learning. The museum is located in the Hira Cultural District in Makkah and presents a cultural and knowledge-based experience that connects visitors to the history and stature of the Holy Quran.

The current display forms part of ongoing efforts to introduce visitors to the history of the Holy Quran and to the work of individuals and institutions dedicated to preserving and serving it.
