Sabah Islamic Civilisation Museum, Islamic heritage museum in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia
The Sabah Islamic Civilisation Museum displays artifacts, manuscripts, and historical documents that demonstrate the influence of Islam in Sabah and Southeast Asia.
The museum complex was established in 1984 with funding of 31.2 million Malaysian Ringgit, replacing its former location in a Gaya Street shophouse.
The galleries present collections of traditional costumes used in religious ceremonies, along with Islamic calligraphy integrated into local art expressions.
The museum opens daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, offering guided tours in multiple languages and maintaining an ethnobotanic garden within its grounds.
The museum complex contains Malaysia's largest exhibited whale skeleton, which received recognition from The Malaysia Book of Records.
