Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia

This is the picture in front of Islamic Arts Museum.

Before you start to go on some places, you must want to know what are the interesting about that place. Well, if you are people who love history, maybe this is the suitable place for you. But I’m also not a people whose love history but for me, this place so beautiful with their sample of mosque from all the world.

The fees:

Adults Students (with ID) Senior Citizens  (Malaysian 55 and over) Children (6 and under)	: RM12.00 : RM6.00 : RM6.00 : FREE
Tickets are charged at RM10 & RM5 respectively when the Special Galleries are closed.

With entrance fees for only RM 5.00 for student I think it’s really valuable. Maybe because of this museum located near to the Mosque, you can go in and out anytime you like for praying or have some meal and come back using the same ticket. It’s mean that the ticket values for the whole day from 10.00am to 6.00pm (close on Monday).

The permanent galleries are categorised by artefact material or field of study. Located on level 3 of the IAMM are some exceptions, the India Gallery, China Gallery and Malay World Gallery. These three galleries serve as representations of the diversity of Islamic peoples and the multi-cultural heritage of Malaysia. Also located on level 3 are the Architecture Gallery, the Qurans & Manuscripts Gallery and the Ottoman Room - a reconstructed interior of an Ottoman Syrian room dated 1820 - 1821 AD, sponsored by the Standard Chartered bank.

On level 4, the Ceramics & Glass Gallery, Metalwork Gallery, Woodwork Gallery, Arms & Armour Gallery, Jewellery Gallery, and Textiles Gallery; exhibits collections displayed thematically, according to chronology, region or technique of production.

Here some of the pictures I take:

I'm sorry for not remembering the name of the mosque. the are more than 20 if I'm not mistaken. Well, you can go and take a look by your own self. I think as a Muslim, you should came here visit to see the beauty of Islam in term of design and culture.

Have a good day and Assalamualaikum.
