The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre's new ground-breaking museum Light & Peace opens to the public today. This immersive experience takes visitors on a transformative journey through faith, coexistence and inspiration. It explores the rich history of Islamic cultural heritage, celebrating the values of openness and tolerance that lie at the heart of the mosque, the UAE, and the vision of its late ruler, His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. Light and Peace offers a unique opportunity to explore the three most significant of Islam: the grand mosques of Al-Haram in Makkah, An-Nabawi in Madinah, and Al-Aqsa in Jerusalem. The exhibition also highlights the creation and enduring legacy of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque – a modern architectural marvel and symbol of unity. Alongside the mosque’s own world-class collection, Light & Peace brings together incredible Islamic artefacts from all over the world and features new commissions from leading contemporary artists including Abdul Qader Al Rais, Othman Khunji and Idris Khan. These remarkable artefact displays are combined with immersive environments and cutting-edge technology to create a meaningful and inspiring narrative experience in seven languages. With this impressive new museum, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre reaffirms its dedication to promoting the values of tolerance and openness. https://lnkd.in/d3RxJang video by Gulf News
