Miniature art is an authentic Oriental art that uses simple drawings to express ideas. These miniatures are often found in storytelling books like "Kalila and Dimna," which was translated into Arabic by Ibn al-Muqaffa in the 8th century. The oldest miniature of Medina in the world is kept at the King Abdulaziz Foundation in Riyadh, dating back 500 years.

Islamic miniature art flourished with the use of paper, allowing for detailed book production by calligraphers, gilders, and illustrators. These drawings cover hunting trips, daily details, science, and maps. Various schools emerged, such as the Abbasid school in Baghdad, the Monl school, and the Timurid school. King Abdulaziz Public Library holds many manuscripts featuring this exquisite art form, preserving a rich historical and cultural legacy.
