The two-storey honey-combed structure houses nine galleries, a lecture hall, children’s centre and various activity rooms. The Main gallery displays the body of work associated with the production of the Malaysian mushaf of the Quran. Visitors to the gallery will also be able to see the original manuscript of the Quran, which is insured for more than RM20mil.
