A group of school girls admiring the Hajj Installation piece at the British Museum. I finally found an online description of the piece:

 

"In the British Museum’s Great Court is a mesmerising sculptural installation by British artist Idris Khan entitled Seven Times, with prayers sand-blasted into 144 steel blocks. The ritual of circling the Ka’ba inspired this work. “If you have ever watched footage of people walking round the Ka’ba seven times and stopping, it’s a truly beautiful thing,” he says."
