ISLAMIC MUSEUM OF AL AQSA

The museum, located adjacent to Al Aqsa Musjid, houses artefacts from ten different periods of Islamic History. It comprises three buildings dating back to Crusader, Ayyubid and Mamluk periods. These three halls were only converted into a museum much later on in 1923 by the Supreme Muslim Council and now have an exhibition space of 1000m2.
