 The museum offers visitors an educational journey that showcases the revelation, compilation, writing, and printing of the Holy Quran across different historical eras, as well as Muslims' efforts to preserve, care for, and disseminate it, using modern technologies and interactive and panoramic displays.
 The museum houses a collection of rare Quranic manuscripts, historic copies of the Holy Quran, and distinctive artifacts, as well as paintings and artworks showcasing the aesthetics of Arabic calligraphy and Islamic art.
