The International Fair and Museum of the Prophet's Biography and Islamic Civilization

This guide to the International Fair and Museum of the Prophet's Biography and Islamic Civilization in Medina opens with a puzzle: how do you fill a museum with five hundred objects from a life when not one sandal, comb, or robe has survived? Opened beside the Prophet's Mosque in 2021, it follows the historians and technologists who turned written description into augmented reality across twenty-five themed halls covering the ninety-nine names of Allah and the city's early constitution. Look for the wooden comb hovering in light rather than sitting behind glass.
