Taif is a mountain city southeast of Mecca, at roughly 21.27 N, 40.42 E. The Prophet visited it in 619 CE on his journey seeking support; it was besieged in 630 CE after Hunayn, and the idol al-Lat was demolished the year it opened. The museum's holdings on it gather the events that took place there — the Prophet ﷺ's journey to Taif, the battle of Hunayn, the siege of Taif and the demolition of al-Lat — with those born there, those who died there, those who sought it and the community that lived in it.
