The museum's design is a striking example of modern aesthetics, characterized by its sleek glass facades which not only draw in natural light but also symbolize clarity and enlightenment. These elements are in harmony with the museum's purpose of illuminating the wisdom of ancient Islamic texts. The smooth, flowing design, devoid of sharp corners, reflects the fluidity of the manuscripts, while its proximity to the Hassan II Mosque creates a profound connection with the spiritual heart of the city.
