Museums · Manama, Bahrain
A museum in Manama dedicated to Quranic manuscripts, Islamic calligraphy, and art.
A serious manuscript and calligraphy collection most visitors don't expect Bahrain to have.
Beit Al Quran houses one of the region's most significant collections of Quranic manuscripts, rare calligraphy, and Islamic art spanning centuries, alongside a working mosque and library. It's a quiet, purpose-built museum rather than a converted heritage house.
