The Museum is said to have been built by al-Mansur Qalawun in 1282 and was transferred to the present site in 1927. It contains exhibits from all periods of Islamic History including a collection of more than 600 copies of the Qur'an. A hand-written Qur'an among these collection is attributed to the great, great grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. The display also include Islamic ceramics, coins, glassware, guns, swords and daggers. I guess the museum is not open for public today, at least for non-Muslims.
