The museum was inaugurated in Bab Al-Khalq under the name "Dar Al-Athar al-Arabiya" on December 28, 1903.

 

The museum includes rare Islamic artifacts from different eras of Islamic civilization covering nearly 12 Hijri centuries, from India, China, Iran and Samarkand, passing through Saudi Arabia, the Levant, Egypt, North Africa, ending in Andalusia and many others.

 

The museum includes about 400 exhibits. The mission of the Museum of Islamic Art is to display and preserve Islamic artifacts.
