The Makkah Museum will offer a unique interpretation and reflection of faith to the millions of Muslims.

A British firm, Mossessian Architecture, is set to build a cultural museum in Makkah called “The Oasis of Faith.”

Mossessian Architecture has already announced that it has won the competition to build the cultural museum in Makkah which will focus on Islam, Islamic culture and history, according to a publication.

The museum will be built in an area of 5,600 sq. meters, 7 km from the Grand Mosque. The museum will feature a reception area, gallery space for exhibitions pertaining to the history of Islam, an auditorium, a book store, a teaching space, and a roof top climate-controlled garden space and restaurant.

The outside wall of the museum will incorporate stone sourced from every country in the world where Islam is currently practiced. Hijazi rock from the mountains around Makkah will be used for the interior.

A statement from Mossessian quoted by the publication said: “The Makkah Museum will offer a unique interpretation and reflection of faith to the millions of Muslims who visit Makkah from around the world and who, up until this point, have had no cultural institution of this kind to enhance their visit to the holiest of Muslim cities.”

Established in 2005, the London-based firm, Mossessian Architecture, has worked on a number of projects in the Middle East and Africa.
