Built in 1923 in Jerusalem, Palestine, the Islamic Museum is adjacent to al-Aqsa Mosque. On display are exhibits from ten periods of Islamic history, including the remains of a minbar built by Saladin and destroyed in a fire in 1969.

The museum has 600 copies of the Qur’an donated to the al-Aqsa Mosque by caliphs, sultans and emirs, as well as copper kettles, stained glass windows, wooden panels, ceramic tiles, an iron cannon used to announce the breaking of Ramadan and a large collection of weapons.
