Edit request

@Gog the Mild and any other admin: I'm grateful to User:dying for pointing out a factual error in the article which is also present in this blurb. Prince Abdulaziz bin Abdullah was not, as I wrongly described in the article, the custodian of the Two Holy Mosques; his father was. In the article, I've introduced a clause to correct this. Apologies for my error. Pinging @TFA coordinators in the hope that the blurb can be changed before tomorrow. MartinPoulter (talk) 10:25, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jimfbleak and Wehwalt: Suggest replacing text with:

Hajj: Journey to the Heart of Islam was an exhibition held at the British Museum in London from 26 January to 15 April 2012. It was the world's first major exhibition telling the story, visually and textually, of the hajj: the pilgrimage to Mecca which is one of the five pillars of Islam. Textiles, manuscripts, historical documents, photographs, and art works from many different countries and eras were displayed to illustrate the themes of travel to Mecca, hajj rituals, and the Kaaba (depicted). The exhibition was formally opened by the then Prince Charles and was popular both with Muslims and non-Muslims, attracting nearly 120,000 adult visitors and favourable press reviews. An exhibition catalogue with essays about the hajj was published by the British Museum in 2012, along with a shorter illustrated guide to the hajj. An academic conference, linked to the exhibition, resulted in another book about the topic. (Full article...)
