Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia

“A very big and beautiful place. There’s a lift available. Adult ticket: RM20 | Child: Free (not sure from what age they start counting as adult). There are a few parking spots near the building, but more are available across the road. I felt amazed by the history of how Islam spread across the world — how art, culture, and technology blended with Islam and created so many beautiful forms of architecture, tools, and artifacts. It shows that Islam is not just a religion, but a way of life that expresses beauty in many aspects of society. Proud to be a Muslim. How wonderful it would be to see the Islamic civilization rise again. Truly a beautiful and inspiring place.”

“A very impressive and underrated museum set in one of central KL’s few green hilltop spaces. This modern museum houses an array of objects from all over the Islamic world, including extensive collections of Mughal miniatures, textiles, jewellery, and decorative arts. At present there’s an excellent exhibit on Tipu Sultan, who successfully defied British rule in India in the 18th century.”

“As a Muslim, it would be an excellent starting point for a holiday. The museum is typically quiet in the morning, and all facilities are well-maintained and clean. The history and the way the stories are presented truly immerse you in the past. Highlight were to see the old Kiswah from 1969 and old qurans from all over the world.”

“An amazing museum, well presented with Aircon! The building itself is modern and very much influenced by European culture specially the Bauhause what surprised me! All exponats are accompanied by well curated texts in English. The nearby national mosque is also impressive!”
