520 8  The annual ritual pilgrimage to Makkah was established by 
       the Prophet Muhammad in the last year of his life (AD 
       632). Over the following centuries the experience and 
       importance of Hajj have been evocatively documented in 
       countless ways. Highlighting the pilgrims' journey across 
       time, the sacred rituals of Hajj, and the city of Makkah 
       itself, this beautiful little book features illuminated 
       manuscripts, wall paintings and photographs, as well as 
       calligraphy, textiles, scientific instruments, decorative 
       tiles, maps, ceramics, metalwork and powerful works by 
       contemporary artists. Published to coincide with a major 
       exhibition at the British Museum, from 26 January to 15 
       April 2012.
