βMuseum about history of Islam and Islam in Malaysia in general and Melaka in particular. Worth going to for both Christians and Muslims.β

βVisited back in Feb before the lockdown. This museums is all about Islam and Islam in Melaka and Malaysia. The museum is over 2 floors. The first floor covers basics of Islam and what it means to be a muslim. The information covers the basics with a little more depth, which made it a more interesting. There were even some exhibits on Islamic designs and what they represent e.g the architecture sculptures that adorn Islamic style buildings. The second floor was quite boring though. It does go into more depth about the organisation of Islam, important Malaccan religious people and religious education in Melaka. Something I imagine would only be of interest to a muslim and even then maybe not. Overall, I learnt a little bit more about Islam, so thatβs a good thing.β

Younger children may find the experience less engaging, and older kids and teens with an interest in culture or history are likely to get the most from a visit.
