Islamic Arts Museum

The Islamic Arts Museum houses many artifacts all the way from China, Southeast Asia, India and even the famous regions like the Middle East and Iran. All the exhibits are safely housed in this white building of a spacious 30,000 sq meters.

Do expect to see one of the most beautiful ceiling domes in this building. Exhibitions are held from time to time to provide education about the religion.

There is also a display of Islamic architecture featuring small scale of the world's most important mosque such as the Prophet's mosque in Medina and the Al Haram Mosque in Mecca. The Islamic Arts Museum is a place you should not miss if you are keen to learn of the history and how Islam started.

With all the incredible displays and exhibits, this truly is a place to visit. Learning about the Islamic religion will not be complete without visiting the National Mosque Kuala Lumpur. The mosque is just a stone's throw away. Do pay a visit at the mosque while you are here.

Getting There

The best way to get to the Islamic Arts Museum is of course either by taxi or by driving there. But if you want to experience taking public transport in Kuala Lumpur, you can take the KTM Komuter and stop at the Old Railway Station and walk your way to the museum.
