Charting the history of this sacred pilgrimage, this major exhibition enables you to experience the unique journey to Mecca through remarkable objects collected across the UK, Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
Beautiful textiles, original artefacts, unheard personal perspectives and vibrant contemporary art will demonstrate how Hajj has inspired the Muslim world since the 7th century AD. These elements bring to life the spiritual significance of completing the sacred rituals but also the arduous nature of the journey itself.
Examining the extraordinary travel logistics involved and how the wider operation of the event has changed over time, the exhibition compares how Muslims over the centuries negotiated this often monumental undertaking and how it continues to be experienced by pilgrims from all corners of the globe today.
