Sharjah 24: Mahra Al Qasir, the House of Wisdom's official spokesperson, revealed that the house's pavilion at the Sharjah International Book Fair (SIBF) is separated into three areas. The first has a digital screen that tells the tale of the translation movement that thrived in the old Baghdad House of Wisdom and played an important role in preserving and expanding Greek philosophy and studies.

In a statement to "Sharjah 24", Al Qasir stated that the second area features a historical artwork – an original miniature by Maqamat Al-Hariri, with the original copy kept in the National Library of France. The artwork represents Arab scholars in the old Baghdad House of Wisdom.

The third area, she explained, showcases rare manuscripts that illustrate the interaction and cultural exchange between Greek and Arab civilisations, all sourced from Sharjah's House of Manuscripts.
