Launched today at the British Museum is a new breath taking exhibition, Hajj: Journey to the heart of Islam.
I was really dubious about this exhibition as I felt it might be one of the exhibitions that didn’t serve this pilgrimage justice. I have to say that I was totally blown away.
It expertly showcases an array of mediums both historical and contemporary to illustrate the journey of Hajj. There are some quite amazing photographs, none more so that the photograph above by Ahmed Mater “Magnetism”.
In fact not knowing anything about the exhibition is far better than reading an illustrative review.
My only advice; go see it if you can. Ticket are £12 and worth every penny.
