Designated as a national memorial, the museum is the symbolic heart of the nation and a true representation of the Bolivian history. It was at this place where the declaration of independence was signed in 1825. The house was built in the 17th century as a Jesuit University and today houses some of the most fascinating artefacts from the Bolivian history.

Hajj- Journey to the heart of Islam at the British Museum

An obligatory pilgrimage to Makkah, Hajj is to be performed at least once in a lifetime for those who can afford it. It is one of the pillars of Islam and involves performing certain religious rituals that were performed by Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

As a part of "Crescentrating's Halal Friendly Travel (CRaHFT) Ranking for 2012", we are excited to announce our Top 5 Islamic Art Museums for 2012!

Museums provide vital information about history; they hold ancient artifacts as well as other objects of scientific, artistic, and cultural importance that allows us to visualize and gain an understanding of what life might have been like in the past. Islamic Museums are especially interesting, showcasing objects such as rare manuscripts of the Quran, clothing worn during the time of the Prophet (Peace be upon Him), and ancient Islamic calligraphy among many other thing.
