Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia

The Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia is a large collection of Islamic artwork in Kuala Lumpur spread across two levels. Twelve different galleries display more than seven thousand objects from many parts of the world.

The institution opened in 1998 as a way to preserve Islamic artistic heritage in Southeast Asia. It grew to become an important center for documenting these artistic traditions.

The galleries display manuscripts, textiles, metalwork, ceramics, and architectural elements that show how Islamic artistic traditions developed across different regions. Visitors can observe the distinct styles that each area created over time.

The museum sits near Kuala Lumpur railway station and is easy to reach on foot. It is open during daytime hours, so plan a visit in the morning or early afternoon.

The building features distinctive turquoise-tiled domes and an entrance created by Iranian craftsmen. This blend demonstrates how modern architecture incorporated traditional Islamic design elements.
