The Holy Quran Museum in the Hira Cultural District in Mecca showcases replica models of the materials used to write the Holy Quran during the Prophetic era.

The museum offers visitors an educational experience exploring the origins of the written revelation and the methods the Prophet's (PBUH) companions used to record the Quranic verses.

The exhibits include leather parchments, palm fronds, pieces of wood and stone, and animal bones such as shoulder blades and ribs.

These materials were used before the Quran was compiled into a single volume. Accompanied by explanatory displays and interactive presentations, the exhibits illustrate how the materials were used and highlight the efforts to preserve the Quran in its original form.
