Through interactive features and visual storytelling, it presents a comprehensive view of the sacred site's historical and spiritual importance.
Exhibition content includes digital displays, motion graphics, touchscreens, and artifacts that showcase the Kaaba’s architectural transformations, the methods used in its upkeep, and the process behind producing the Kiswa—the ornate cloth that covers the Kaaba. Visitors can also learn about the tools and techniques used in its maintenance over time.
