“Items from the archive – as well as the spectacular embroidered textiles themselves – were recently on show at the British Museum’s exhibition Hajj: Journey to the Hearth of Islam. Indeed the Khalili Family Trust was the largest lender to this landmark show… After Topkapi Serayi in Istanbul, the trust also holds the worlds largest group of textiles and objects – among them scientific instruments, maps and miniatures – relating to Mecca and Medina.”
