| The exhibit covers the two and a half centuries from the Mamluk conquest of Jerusalem in 1260 until its capture by the Ottoman Turks in 1517. |

The Mamluks emphasized the religious character of the city and made it an important Islamic center of learning. Muslim seminaries, mosques and other religious building were established. |
| A feature to which the exhibit relates was the liberal attitude of the Mamluks to non-Muslim minorities, which allowed for co-existence among the city's various communities. |
